Diamond Offers a Year's 'Free Flying' for DA40 Buyers
By Mark Phelps 11/20/2008
Responding to a marketplace reluctant to commit, Diamond Aircraft is making the grass in its pasture a little greener for DA40 prospects who may be teetering on the fence. Among the incentives to buy now: For every DA40 bought and delivered before the end of this year, the company is offering free maintenance—including parts and labor—for the first year or 125 hours, whichever comes first. The company is also offering an insurance credit of $3,500, sufficient for a year's insurance for most instrument rated pilots, according to Diamond. A $2,000 training credit is also part of the package, as is a $5,000 gas card for a total incentive package value of $13,250. Combined with the IRS special bonus depreciation tax incentive program for purchases up to $300,000, the Diamond offer tempts those in a position to be making a move to aircraft ownership. The offer applies to all new DA40s in the current inventory that will be registered in the United States or Canada.
