Aircraft and its distributors have announced an opportunity to
purchase a limited number of 2007 DA40 XL aircraft at a special
demonstrator price of $299,950, or 15% $53,000 off the
$353,395 price for comparably equipped 2008 DA40 XLS aircraft.
All the offered DA40 XL aircraft come loaded with most factory
options, including XM satellite weather, TAS active traffic, TAWS-B
terrain awareness system and premium leather interior. Select 2007
demonstrator aircraft are now being released to the public. With
only 50-150 hours on the airframe, these aircraft have been
professionally maintained and flown by Diamond sales people, and
come with a full two years of airframe warranty, as well as a
2-year, 250 hour Premium Care pre-paid maintenance program.
"The DA40 XL has been our best-selling aircraft for the last
several years. With its industry-leading safety record,
unparalleled visibility, and wonderful handling, it has become the
first choice aircraft for many pilots who both want to advance
their ratings, and do some serious traveling," explains Errol
Bader, at USAERO, the Diamond distributor for the south-western US.
"We typically fly our demos for about 8-10 months and then replace
them. These aircraft have low hours, are maintained by Diamond
factory authorized service centers, and represent an incredible
value."
Company demonstrator aircraft count as new aircraft under tax
rules, and are eligible for the special 2008 tax treatment,
including 50% bonus depreciation and Section 179 expensing
election. Qualifying buyers can write off up to $279,970, or 93% of
the purchase price of the aircraft.
