But dealers always give you less than what the boat is worth so they then can resell and make some money. You never get the full value of what your boat is worth when you trade it in.

or dealers give you what it is really worth, and people just pay more

Go to the dealer and try to buy that boat for 90 grand and see what they tell you. Numbers on trade in's can be played with, depending on the price they gave him the new boat for. The boat is worth what someone is willing to pay for it, thats the real world......

Me too... But if that was mine,
Neptune had a magic eraser, some soft scrub and a can of zep 45 with him. I took all kinds of **** apart and the boat is in nice shape. Maybe thats a new way to clean the boat, might be on to something there.......

That boat is a time bomb for the dealer but has a lower floorplan cost than the new 370SS he sold. That Playboy could eat a drive/blow a motor and suddenly dealer is upside down. He has had it in inventory for about 4 months, summer is here I would bet 90K would easily take that boat now!

My bad, i was speaking in general terms about trade in's, not that specific boat. If the delaler got what he wanted for the new boat he may very well just want out of the trade in. It's a numbers game, plain and simple.....

Actually, many dealers give more than the boat is worth on trade towards an over inflated price on the new boat, makes the buyer feel like he got good money for his trade-in, when in reality he's paying up on the other end.

thats the way i thought it worked.

Same thing though.

Call the dealer and offer 90, I guarantee you that he will laugh at you
