If You Just Have to Have One

Also at its owners' meeting last week, Cirrus announced pricing incentives. Effective immediately and running through July 31 (the conclusion of next month's EAA AirVenture in Oshkosh), Cirrus will include air conditioning at no extra charge with any X-Edition or Xi personalized SR22 or SR20. And for current Cirrus owners who want to trade up, Cirrus will apply the usual 4.9% broker fee as credit toward the new aircraft. If the trade-in qualifies under Cirrus Certified standards, the company will guarantee the used aircraft for six months or 100 hours, further enhancing it on the used market.
