I posted this today, maybe it will go and I'll get to start shopping for spring (In ND that means early June)

don't know if I am excited or not if it goes, my first boat, my families first boat, kids (and I) have learned a lot on this one. oh well, Cheers to new memories on a new boat!!

Your ad mentions "I have bags and a pump that we can discuss" -- what do you have and would you be willing to sell separate? I'm looking for two 750s and a pump...

[FargoDawg]

let me see how it all goes, I have 2 450s and a 750, and a tsunami pump. if it doesn't sell, ill need them next summer again

Nice price on the boat, good luck!

[FargoDawg]

so.... my local dealership got a new LSV and a Mondo in 2 weeks ago, I went by hoping to see a Mondo up close.....
price drop to 26K. I'm ready to buy one of these beauties. I need the eyes and ears of the Moomba forum to make it happen.

thanks

Did you discuss a trade? My local dealer gave me a surprisingly good trade offer, likely so they could move a new boat.

Be sure to look at the difference you will pay in sales tax on the new boat. Sometimes that alone makes the deal go through.

[mikenehrkorn]

I was just reading the other day that dealers make much more on used boats than new -- not sure if that's true or not, but I read it on the internet so it must be true :) -- so they may very well be willing to make you a good deal.

As far as the sales tax goes, that likely depends on how your state handles it........I know in IL they make you pay sales tax on the price of the new boat, NOT the difference between the new and the trade. And that is very fresh in my mind from my purchase back in July!! :(

[kaneboats]

Well, IL needs more money for the schools and the roads and whatever else they want to claim. LOL! Get out while you can!

[mikenehrkorn]

Don't even get me started on the MASSIVE taxation in this state.

I think you really wanted to say that IL needs the $$$ for the politicians.......the "Land of Lincoln" where our last two governors are now wearing prison stripes!!!!

I was audited for my boat purchase in Illinois, the state tried to say my 02 lsv was worth 30k! and that the value I used of 12k was too low..

They said they got the 30k figure from Nada online, however no matter what options I choose never reached 30k..

The audit was actually pretty easy..showed a withdrawal of 18k, a receipt from the sellers bank and I provided an itemized list of how I determined the boat itself was only worth 12k..-3k trailer, covers, ropes, etc, etc -3k, perfect pass, -1k... sent it all via email..

Just saved my coworker 1500$ using the same for a truck he purchased.. :)

Probably easier to do with a used car/boat, but not so easy with new when you have to produce a purchase agreement.... :(

this dealer is notorious for bad customer service be it a snowmobile, boat, pontoon, camper. it has been 2 days now and I have not heard back. believe me I get a: "they don't want your boat" argument.... at the same time I can be at a dealership within a 2 hour drive and get a Moomba from them. hardest part for my knee-jerk personality is that there is a Centurion at our Bass Pro Shop boat dealer, that has had my attention all summer as it has sat covered up since June-ish on their lot. they probably want to move that one also.......

I think you missed a few.

Oh yes, the list of crooked politicians in Chicago / IL is long and illustrious, I was merely referring to the latest.

Sold, or technically, traded in. Found a 2012 hold over Enzo SV233 with 1.8 hours. Had to pull the trigger. Got a fair price to trade in.
Regardless, I have a Roswell Swivel rack now to get rid of. PM me if you want it

[mikenehrkorn]

Sent you a PM.......

[996scott]

Sent one as well. Still have the bags and pump?
