Gulfstream G450
The pre-owned entry ticket to the big-Gulfstream cabin. Values have found a floor.
What you are paying for
The G450 is the pre-owned market’s big-cabin bargain: the last iteration of the classic Gulfstream IV line, with hundreds built, deep parts support, and asking prices that dipped under $15M for early examples. The trade against a newer G500 is fuel burn and avionics generation. The cabin experience concedes surprisingly little.

Typical pre-owned asks run EST $14M–$21M. Owning a Gulfstream G450 and flying it 200 hours a year models out to roughly $3.62M–$4.83M per year all-in: crew, hangar, insurance, maintenance programs, and depreciation included. Open this aircraft in the Ownership Desk to stress-test the assumption against your own hours.
Alternatives worth pricing
- Bombardier Challenger 650: The widest cabin per dollar in aviation. A 40-year formula, still working.
- Dassault Falcon 2000LXS: Fighter-jet DNA; lands short and steep where other heavies divert.
- Dassault Falcon 900LX: Three engines: oceanic routing freedom and London City approval.
