Market Position & Acquisition Intelligence
Gulfstream holds the strongest residual values in business aviation. A well-maintained G550 retains approximately 55-65% of its original value after 15 years. The G650 commands a premium on the secondary market, with clean aircraft rarely sitting for more than 60 days. Demand consistently outpaces supply in the ultra-long-range segment.
Pre-buy inspections on Gulfstream aircraft typically run $35,000-$85,000 depending on model. Savannah-based MRO facilities have the deepest parts inventory. Budget 12-18 months of operating reserves before acquisition.
