I'm sure there's a reason. I just don't know what it is and am curious. Beechjets aren't on my radar as maintenance disasters that are ready to be scrapped.

Two pilots. If those were single pilot they would fetch 1mm. And if not I would have one in my hanger.

Old airframe, high time engines that aren't particularly efficient and what appears to be an AMS-850 FMS which is no longer supported by RC (No database available). Most Diamonds and older Beechjets are being sold out of the country.

That makes sense. Needs $$$ panel work on top of the engine issues.

Very nice shape, Proline 4 avionics. Currently flying in charter. New engines to be installed soon. After that it will probably go over the $1MM mark.

That Diamond probably does not have an FMS. It should have legacy avionics, which is fine. It does have thrust reversers, which is a big plus for the Diamonds. The engines are the JT15D-4's which are basically the same engine used in the Citation II. So they are a bit underpowered, especially if you need engine and wing ice on in the climb. High/Hot, it is a runway pig. But, it will true out at around 420 Kts.

As stated, the engines are high time which helps to account for the price.

A baron of the same year will bring nearly as much.
