Awesome! That's what my dealer said, but this is my first interaction with them, so haven't quite built up the trust there. So, good to hear that this isn't a situation where they might be trying a bait and switch. He said as long as they had it "registered" by may 10th (guessing in the Yamaha system as state registration won't happen by then), then all would be good. Like I said I have a general distrust of people. I guess trust but verify.

"Registered" with Yamaha just means that it's been registered as sold in the yamaha dealer system. So that the dealer gets credit for the sale and gets paid any rebates/incentives, reserve money, and their holdback money.

So went and picked up my boat today. Incentives had changed and weren't available in the system......They had the same finance offer, so that wasn't a big deal. However, they changed the 5 year warranty to 3. They said well we sold you the 5 year, so we'll just have to eat it. I guess things changed in the system? Sales guy even said in the fine print they have that they had until 5/10 to get it in their system. Hopefully they figure it out cause I know that came outta my sales guy cut, not like the dealership itself was going to eat it. I like that they stuck with it and I walked outta there without any fuss with my 5 year warranty. I have the registration paper stating 5 years, so I feel ok about the whole deal.
You have to understand that just like airlines (normally) they have high season which is June1st to Aug 31st which is summer time and everyone is rushing for summer activities so they don’t need to move as many boats as they need to move them before and after the season is over. Aside from COVID times, best time to buy is Dec to close the year with high numbers, Jan/Feb due to cold months, and Sep/Oct Due to finishing the season but inventory is scarce at the end of the season and with slim picking, you may have to settle for what’s available instead of what you want, however you will gain deep discounts.
Understand the laws and drivers of supply and demand in every purchase category as a consumer and you can save $$$$$ thousands! Understand how each establishment or business operates and when is high and low demands for them, and you will score!
