Boat Wholesale Pricing
I know the boat pricing subject has been beaten to death. I am trying to figure out what the wholesale pricing is on my boat. I have a 99 powerquest silencer, 28' with 502 mag. All the standard options including a trailer. Where would I find this price or can anyone give it to me. I have been thinking about trading it in and that is what the dealers say for pricing. The condition is fair. Thanks everyone.

It depends on real ACV (actual cash value) or what they are showing you. Rule of thumb.............. low book less 20-25% less any repairs. Maybe less in this market

If you go by NADA: A Silencer shows with a 310 HP $27,650 add in the extra HP $3900 would be $31,550 X 20%= $25,240 @ 25%= $23,662 this all depends on the boat you are trading in on Value on what percentage.

I offered $25K for a 99 280 Silencer and the guy basically got pissed off and started to walk away. The whole time my wife was watching him as we walked back to our car to leave. Once he realized we were leaving, he turned and said I got an offer for $28K that I turned down. Being my brash self, I replied "You should've taken it." Maybe I should have just said I've got your number, let me think about it.
Why do people in today's market, with boats they can't afford and NEED to sell get pissed when you offer them a "wholesale" value? I'm in Louisville, KY. Home of UPS, Ford F-250 plant, Ford Explorer Plant, and GE appliances. The Ford plants are shutting down for a month at a time, GE is for sale, and UPS is cutting back.
But yes, wholesale is 20-25% below the NADA low.

You are offering nothing for boats. I understand why the salemen watched you go back to your car and leave.

You are offering nothing for boats that are out of your league. In reading all of your questions you don't know the difference between Horsepower and cubic inches, carbs or fuel injection. Maybe you should do some more research before making offers. I understand why the salemen watched you go back to your car and leave.
If you're mad that you spent 30 minutes on the phone telling me about your boat, scanning a bunch of documents, and e-mailing some photos, get out of the used boat business and let a broker sell it for you.
