Incentive Packages Offered On New X-Edition or Xi

Following Friday's debut of the new SR22T, Cirrus Aircraft announced two incentive programs that make upgrading to a new Cirrus easier than ever.

Beginning immediately and through the end of EAA AirVenture Oshkosh on July 31, 2010, any new order for either an X-Edition or Xi personalized SR-series piston airplane will include air conditioning as part of the X or Xi package as no additional cost.

For owners in the U.S. selling their current Cirrus and upgrading to a new model, when brokered through Cirrus Certified with a new order placed by July 31, Cirrus will apply the normal 4.9 percent brokerage fee as a credit on the new airplane purchase. And when the brokered aircraft meets Cirrus Certified requirements, Cirrus will also enhance the warranty on the pre-owned airplane to six full months or 100 hours - spinner to tail - further increasing its value in resale market.

"We've been listening to our customers. They've asked for more value in their new airplane purchase and in reselling their existing Cirrus to upgrade to a new one," said Vice President of Domestic Sales Jon Dauplaise. "Earlier this year we announced the availability of Air Conditioning across the entire piston product line, including SR20. Not an STC or aftermarket installation, our air conditioning system - installed right on the production line - is very robust. Summer's here and there is no better time to take advantage of this limited offer to make air conditioning part of your new X-Edition or Xi personalized Cirrus." 

"We are also sensitive to customers that want additional assistance in selling their current Cirrus," Dauplaise added. "Now that we are seeing stability return to the pre-owned Cirrus market - and coupling this resale offer with unique Cirrus features like the Cirrus Airframe Parachute System (CAPS), Flight Into Known Icing capability, Cirrus Perspective by Garmin avionics and the just-announced 22T - there has never been a better time to upgrade."
