i assume you are going to be dealing with extreme marine. if so they are a very good dealer.

sell it yourself, it won't take to long as long as you have it priced well.

Recall that you will pay sales tax on the difference when trading. Missouri does have a "window" for sales tax credit before and after the purchase of a boat...30 days?

Hope that helps out some.

probably not the best place for an unbiased opinion, but the malibu vride is a little pricier but they're offering 3K more on my trade! i know they probably have some more wiggle room but any advic`e out there???

someone sell my regal as i can't even find time to get pictures

Take the Malibu dealer's offer for trade back to the SC dealership and see if that will get them to move any.

[JoeTechie]

The malibu is not offering you more for the boat, they are offering you more off their boat. That is how much they are marked up! Sale and trade are polar opposites.

So let's see:

Malibu = 58K - $9000 for your boat = 49K
Mobius = 48K - $6000 for your boat = 42K.

Hmmmm....

that is not very tough math IMHO.



If you want to SELL it - then use

or

or any of the others KC mentioned above.

Just like buying a car. Negotiate the purchase and trade-in as seperate deals and see what you get. If you do both at the same time the dealer can change numbers on the purchase price and the trade-in price to look good in your perspective. Dealers start high on the purchase price and low on the trade-in and that gives the dealer the ability to adjust to what will sway the buyer. Lock in the new purchase price by itself then work on the trade-in price. Then you have options, buy the boat and trade-in, buy the boat and sell the trade-in yourself or walk away.

Man that sucks, my dealer gave me exactely what I wanted for my boat site unseen at the January boat show. He sold it asap. Good Luck whatever way you go. Joe's math doesn't look all that bad either.
