Description

Introducing N542BL, a 2023 Diamond DA42 NG based at KJNX. Finished in a striking metallic royal blue with a premium leather interior, this aircraft showcases Diamond’s modern design and advanced Garmin G1000 NXi avionics suite. With its proven efficiency, comfort, and technology, the DA42 VI continues to be one of the most sought-after light twins in general aviation. This aircraft is being offered AS IS, WHERE IS and is priced to reflect the fact that it does require two new engines. Notably, of the two engines, one carries partial warranty coverage (approximately 50%), which helps reduce the replacement cost. For buyers who are looking for value, N542BL presents an excellent opportunity to acquire a late-model DA42 at a fraction of the typical market price. Don’t miss the chance to make N542BL your own and unlock the potential of a nearly new DA42 VI at an exceptional price point. Call Cody for more details!
