Pricing on NEW Yamaha 242X

[chrisjacobson18]

I am still negotiating with my dealer on a brand new 2019 Yamaha 242X boat, and they quoted the price at $74,999 which includes the "freight & setup". Is this a decent price, or is there more room to move on the price. (No extras thrown in)

I looked up what invoice is on a brand new 2020 Yamaha 242X and the website (seedealercost.com) says the invoice price is $67,149.


Any feedback would be great. Thanks!

Price on the website on the 2020 242x is 78,999, I forget what the 2019 listed for. Dealers do not tend to move too far away from this price ratehr throw in extras like covers, ropes,.....etc.

For a brand new boat the price seems decent.

You’re getting a bit better than what I paid. Make sure they throw in the wake booster kit with surf board and the starter kit with anchor, jackets, etc. I also got free 10hr service plus $500 shop credit that I used for my first winterization. And the premium cover (as well as shipping cover)

I wish I had known about this website before our purchase on Saturday. I paid MSRP for a 2020 195S plus TTL. Invoice is 33,999.00

If you would like a 2019 242LSE I could make you a deal.

The dealer out here is going out of business and has a 2019 242X listed for $66k might be able to get more off. Most dealers don't give a lot of wiggle room on price, if you want a deal hunt for used.

If you want deepest discounts, best time to buy is in Sep/Oct when Yamaha is offering rebates to dealers to discount current model year and make room for next year’s model. The dealer is not out any money but able to discount the boat since he is getting that money back from Yamaha. Sep is best as more inventory would be available at the beginning of rebates compared to Oct when everyone takes advantage of those rebates and deplete available inventory in the market.

Thanks for the help everyone. I have a trade is the only problem. I love to make a deal on that $66,000 one, but California is a long haul from Minnesota.

Absolutely nothing against the 242X - awesome boat. You probably already know this, but given Yamaha's general tendency to hold very close to MSRP, the appropriate cross-shopping with other brands is boats that list at 90-100K as they can often be had for that $75K number.

I just closed on the boat at $74,999 and they gave me $10,800 for my 2003 SeaDoo Challenger X20 with 333 hours on it.

Congrats

Well, congratulations and welcome to the family. Awesome boat!
I am 99.99% certain you bought the red/black one as our local dealer only had this color in inventory. I’ll be seeing you on lake Minnetonka as soon snow melts, ya? Or is it too far for you coming from Winona?

I’ll be down by Winona in Pool 6. Yes, it was black and red, but it was from Rochester.

hope you are enjoying your new boat i am going to look at the same boat next week and i am curious if they threw in any extra stuff trying to figure out what i can get . TIA

 

[chrisjacobson18]

I got nothing extra.
Hopefully you have better luck now with this whole coronavirus stuff going on. I bought mine just before all this happened (March 6). I wish I had waited until now when dealers are probably desperate to sell.
