Any Suggestion on an affordable light jet for retirement use

Hi Folks,

I don't often post in the privates forum so excuse my post.

I am coming up to retirement and possibly interested to invest in a light jet for private use, possibly to tour the world with.

I have had a look on global plane search and there are a few options I have seen

Learjet 25 starting at around 200-300k USD
Learjet 35 starting at around 500-600k USD

My budget for the actual purchase is around the 750,000 USD mark

My questions are how much would a light jet cost in maintance each year based on light use?

Any other suggestion for an aircraft I could tour the globe in? I would also consider turbo props such as TBM, C400 series etc

Still early stages...

Finally USA looks to be where the cheaper prices are for aircraft purchase, is this recomended or are most of them rusty cigars lying about?

Does anyone know if it is a lot of hassle & time to re-register US registered aircraft to VH (oz)

Thanks
