New DA40 XLS Owners May Take Advantage Of Over $13K In
Savings
While Diamond Aircraft has made more headlines lately over its
battle with the bankruptcy administrator for Thielert Aircraft
Engines, than for its planes, the London, Ontario-based planemaker
would like everyone to remember its DA40 XLS is one of the
most appealing choices available for discriminating pilots. And
that choice just got even more so.
Pilots who purchase a new DA40 XLS between June 1 and July 31,
2008 can fly their new plane for the first year for little more
than their monthly payments -- with Diamond picking up maintenance,
insurance, fuel and training for the first year of operation, a
$13,250 value:
The "Fly Your First Year Free" Offer includes:
- Free maintenance includes all scheduled maintenance, parts and
labor, for one year or 250 hours, whichever comes first – a
$2,750 value.
- Free insurance is available up to $3,500 -- which will cover
most private, IFR pilots in a DA40 XLS.
- Free fuel covers 100 hours of flying -- at $5 per gallon and
the DA40's low 10 gph fuel burn, or $5,000 of free fuel.
- Free training is a $2,000 training credit, which customers can
take at a Diamond Flight Center of their choice, and which can be
used for transition training, or towards any rating, private or
more advanced.
"We are very excited about this offer: it allows our customers
to finance 90% of the full purchase price of the aircraft,
and enables them to have very few out-of-pocket cost during their
first year of ownership," said Fred Ahles, President of Premier
Aircraft Sales, the Diamond distributor in Florida. "The DA40 XLS
has always been a very economical plane to operate -- typically
costing less than $1,000 per month – and with this special
offer, there are few costs beyond the monthly payments for the
entire first year of ownership."
The offer is limited to inventory on hand at Diamond
distributors.
