Re: Why won't my boat sell?
Hi stoked not<br /><br />You have a great looking package deal.<br />Don't sell youself or it short.<br /><br />Do what the people have suggested on cleaning it up a bit IE: wires..steering wheel, scuff marks and oh... and do something with those trailer light wires...
picky arn't we hehe<br /> <br />Ask yourself this<br />A: Do you want to sell your boat or<br />B: Do you want to talk about Not selling it here in this thread?<br /><br />
figured I'd better put in a smiley face before you get hot under the collar
<br /> <br />Anyway it's worth your time to at least check out what
cobra 3.0 said for these reasons<br /><br />But first you must be dealing with honest people.<br />Find a dealer in your area (with in a 100 miles) that turns a lot of new boats, and is willing to do a consignment. This may harder to find than some think.<br /><br />1: They will know the market value for your boat package. <br />2: 80 % of the people comming onto that lot are looking for a boat! Yea there are a lot of prop spinners out there too
<br />3: Most of the sales staff 6-18 for for high turnover dealers will have a seperate lead list for people looking for a used boat by price, type and size, and notes if they can be financed or not.<br />Now you have 6-18 people with lists of people already who are looking for a (mabe yours) boat!<br />4: You don't have to worry about all the details!<br /><br />I've worked for several high turn over dealers and only one would take consignments but they had to be in good condition like yours. (they need to make money as do the salesman) for the time and effort. But once the service department gave it a thumbs up all the sales staff would be calling (pre-qualified) buyers..<br /><br />As long as your boat is priced right for your area at a dealer you should have your money in a week without doing anything.<br /><br />On a side note: Most new boat sales people just love to sell a trade in... it's one of a kind and for once you have lists of people looking for it and not shopping every dealer looking at the best deal.
<br /><br />Just thought I'd put in my 2 cents worth here.. and yes I want my penny back for the thought!<br /> <br />Oh this is just from one place on your motor<br />Low Retail:$4,830 <br />Average Retail:$5,750 <br />Add your nice boat and trailer package 7000 - commision 6000 ... in pocket.. oh my penny..<br />$5,999.99
