Also known as a flier, the air/raft relies on solid-state anti-grav modules for lift and propulsion. Four independent, individually replaceable modules insure a maximum of safety, in that each provides one-quarter of the vehicle’s total lift

Note the analog control stick. I’m betting the avionics are quite simple and easy to fix. The only complex part is the solid-state antigrav units, and you can’t replace those anyway, just sent them back to the manufacturer for a price break on your next purchase.
Larger worlds with more developed and self-supporting economies probably sell specialized fliers, but any world on a Main is going to be selling these clunky yet effective modular designs.
