Some of the modifications on the 2012 Supra's are great and I have heard they plan to come out with a new bow design for 2013. All of this has me thinking about moving into a new ride. So, how does the Supra trade-in work? I have a fully loaded 2008 Sunsport 20V. The kids are bigger so I think it is also time for a larger boat. Thanks
If you're talking about the "Trade-In" link on the top of the page, I'm pretty sure that's just a way for Supra to get your info over to a local dealer. My guess is that you would then go through a trade in process like any other. IMHO, if you own the boat outright, you'd be better off selling to a private party. I haven't hear of many people being happy with the value placed on their boat/car/motorcycle, etc. when going the trade-in route.
1. Pick out the new boat you want.
2. Take your old boat to the bank and fill it with money.
3. The dealer will then trade with you. :D
This made me chuckle. :)Quote:

(The dealer will probably want to tack on a $100 or $200 to do the deal, but its worth it.... as long as your state does not prohibit transactions of this nature)
You get a sales tax credit most of the time on a private party sale as well. Just be sure to have a bill of sale.Quote:
