Im asking now. The add doesn't say anything about upgrades. Very vague. Just says he works too much to use it. He says it has 4 years left on warranty, cover, ropes, all the normal stuff. I know boats are short right now and we are in summer, I have cash right now and just want to make sure I don't make a dumb purchase before i do my homeworkDoes he have any upgrades to it? Also a lot of sellers increasing their prices because they can probably get it with the shortage of boats available. It isn't uncommon to see used boats right now priced close to MSRP over the last couple years or so. Come Mid to Late August once the new line is out and being delivered to dealers weekly, used boats may cool off a bit. Again he may have many thousands into it with upgrades as well.
This - what he paid doesn't matter. The market value is what matters, and the market is sky high right now.I would suggest that whatever he paid is irrelevant; look for comparable boats to see what a fair price is in the current market, add in any upgrades he may have, and figure out what you're comfortable paying. It appears that nowadays you'll have to pay a premium or wait a few months.
How many hours on this boat?
You got a good deal then. I could not find that on a 212 after a very long search.@AZMark No way to determine if he paid more than MSRP, that is just an assumption. I paid a lot under MSRP OTD with everything included. It would depend on when he bought and what type of deal he was able to cut.
Agreed what he paid shouldn’t affect what the buyer is willing to pay. Just making the point that the seller likely isn’t flipping this boat for a profit. They retail closer to $56, if it’s got <10 hours on and the warranty is transferable then you’re basically getting a new boat for less than you will pay at a dealer with fees and taxes any time soon. The taxes are enormous on a purchase like this in some states.This - what he paid doesn't matter. The market value is what matters, and the market is sky high right now.
Yes I did, but mine was an 2020 AR210 not the 212 and I hit it just before the rush started at the end of April.You got a good deal then. I could not find that on a 212 after a very long search.
Wait...are you saying you're buying it?! You really did have cash burning a hole in your pocket! Good luck with the purchaseyeah you're correct. They are going to do an inspection on everything for $250. My sale is pending that inspection. he came down on price.
Value is subjective right? Yeah, I have been looking for months now. I went, I saw, I loved.Wait...are you saying you're buying it?! You really did have cash burning a hole in your pocket! Good luck with the purchase
