Embraer Legacy 600

“The Legacy 600 is a very reliable aircraft, even one that’s over 10 years old,” says Michielli. “And it’s very well supported. The Legacy is based on an airliner platform. It’s basically the same aircraft as the ERJ 135 [a regional airliner built by Embraer], so it’s very reliable. The price point can be from $6 million down to $4 million, depending on the pedigree. In my opinion, if you buy a Legacy and it needs some upgrades, they’re well worth doing because it comes from an airliner platform, so it is going to perform well for you and be around for quite a while.”
