In a brief interview, Steve Varsano outlines three common pitfalls that buyers encounter when purchasing a private jet. First, they let aesthetic preferences, such as seat color, drive the decision rather than performance or suitability. Second, they assume the cheapest aircraft on the market offers the best value, overlooking quality, operating costs, and long‑term suitability. Third, they follow a friend's recommendation without assessing their own unique requirements. Varsano emphasizes that each buyer must evaluate passenger capacity, budget, and required range, as no two buyers share identical parameters.

Hey Steve, what are the 3 mistakes people make when buying a private jet?
Well, the first one is they pick one over the other because they like the colors of the seats more than the other airplane. Number 2, buying the cheapest airplane on the market is not necessarily buying the best airplane. You're not going to get the best value or the best airplane, and buying a jet cheap is not a good idea. The third point is buying a plane because a friend of yours who has a jet tells you you should buy the same jet. Not a good idea. You need to know how many people you want to carry, how much money you want to spend, how far you got to go. I mean, these are things that no 2 people actually have the same parameters.
