average retail with the items that I could check -> $37,800
low retail $33,170
I have not seen the boat yet so on paper it looks like a smoking deal. I'm a first time owner so need to be thorough. Luckily I have a friend that has a 2003 so he is giving me insight and questions to ask as well as a mobile mechanic to use if it comes to that.
How do I compare NADA to negotiated price? I've browsed the Nautique forums and users state that NADA is below what they are worth and selling for. But in the Supra case NADA seems higher?
That seems high for that year. 2007 Sunsport, mint, trailer, tower lights, tower speakers 2000 watts memphis audio, 340 hp indmar, teak platform, tower, bimini top, trailer, full cover, tonau cover, cockpit cover, dual batteries, lower hours - $33k is the going rate. No, I am not going to sell mine for that, but that is what I was offered.
I am going to buy a second boat and if my boat is only worth 33k, I will keep it. I will end up with one at my lake house (well, hopefully I will have a lake house by summer's end) and the other at the nearby lake.
