Late 90s? Wasn´t the last build 1989-90ish?
Don`t know where you are, but IMO the market in that class is so saturrated that with your budget and age requirement there is nothing you could buy to 'stand out'.
The CJ2 is a very good airplane and with haggling you might get a decent one within your price range. The used A/C market does not move much IMO, so there might a nice one for you....
