Check this one out made by Viper Aircraft.

First check out the galleries... then for a real shocker, check out the pricing. Yes, it's not a joke... sure they are US prices, but once you add engine and avionics you are still far under the 2.2 mil of the other.

Is that build your own jet though Archer. Because I can fix small stuff around the house but there is no way in hell I would trust myself to build a bloody jet.

Ya, it's a kit plane... they really aren't that bad. They give you exact instructions and tons of plans to follow. Especially these days when you can now buy parts pre assembled for a little more. You save a ton of money and have the satisfaction of building it yourself. All you need is a few lessons on using some tools and a few years time, and voila, your own jet. And in the process of building the plane, you can also get your license.

edit: After looking at some of the construction pics, it's looks fairly difficult to build since it's entirely composite. I wouldn't do it myself either, as a small air bubble in the composite can cause you to break apart. Now, metal aluminum aircraft are not a problem. You just need to know how to rivet.
