Thread: New Boat Purchase

  1. #1

    Lets just say the boat that I want to finance for 75-80 years has a base sticker of 79K. What could I expect to get that boat for? Also when is the best time to purchase? I would think December or January. What does everyone else think?

    I think it depends what brand boat and what base options are included.

    I am just trying to get a general idea of how much negotiating room there is on a new boat. I have bought many new cars, and hate the haggling that goes on, so I was just curious what the list price, and what was the purchase price was some people from the boards got their boats for.

    I might be able to help you a bit having sold several different brands over the years. Most
    west coast performance builders have a 10% discount that is almost automatic when you walk in
    the door. It's usually the same discount that is
    available at the LA boat show but most folks don't
    figure that out. Years ago at Nordic, there was
    always a 15% discount for going factory direct but they don't do that anymore since they have a
    network of dealers. My suggestion is to figure
    10% into it as a real buying price depending on who it is. If you call me, I'll give you a great suggestion but I don't want to print it!

    The advice is free! Our deckboats start at $79,000 and we'll throw in a handfull of cool
    options, but we don't discount at all. We sell
    65 of them a year and can't build them fast enough. We're very fortunate.

    Is that advise still free even if I am not looking at a Conquest?
