Diamond Aircraft

Diamond made a promise to make flying more accessible to more people. This year, special tax incentives make it easier than ever to deliver on this promise. US legislation this year only offers an extraordinary opportunity for tax savings on aircraft used for business travel, with tax-write-off opportunities of as much as $300,000 on qualifying purchases of new DA40 XLS aircraft.

The 2008 economic stimulus law provides both 50% bonus depreciation - which is available only on new aircraft purchases, not on used aircraft - and an expanded maximum $250,000 expensing election for taxpayers who invest less than $1,050,000 in new or used capital assets.*

By taking delivery of your new DA40 XLS by September 30th, you may be able to write off over $300,000 of the purchase price in the first year. This is an almost $60,000 higher first-year tax opportunity, compared to buying a used DA40 of a similar value after September 30th: it pays to buy new, and to act now.*

So what are you waiting for? Even without any tax incentives, the DA40 XLS is the best value in the industry - here's why:

  • Lowest acquisition cost for a 4-seat, 150+ kts aircraft, with a fuel burn of only 10 gph - for an industry-leading 17 mpg fuel efficiency
  • Attractive insurance rates due to the industry-leading safety record
  • Panoramic canopy with its incredible view
  • Synthetic Vision for added safety in lower visibility
  • Roomy interior with premium leather seats
  • Industry-leading G1000 WAAS enabled panel with the sophisticated digital GFC700 autopilot

Act now - maximum savings require delivery by September 30, 2008.
