What's our 22i worth?

[Wake Bandits]

We'd like to take a shot selling it before we trade it in on a new one.

Anyone have a real world idea what our Tige is worth?
2007 22i under 200 hours, extreme trailer, garaged.
Thanks

Based on the info given, NADA says average retail is 33,145. This will be a starting point for potential buyers and a bank will probably not give a loan for more than the NADA price.

Take a look on onlyinboards.com and boattrader.com to see what they are selling for. NADA KBB do not mean a thing if boats in your area are selling for less. Good thing is there are not to many out there right now but it is the off season right now. Good luck.

You will need to find the right buyer for that color which might mean it will take longer to sell. Many will complement it as looking nice, but some of those (for example, myself) that would never own a boat that color.

I thought purple was the new black

That color wouldn't stop me

That's ridiculous.
Like the person you know that as soon as they find out you're buying a new car they want you to buy the car they want.

Just because the color doesn't suit you,, that means absofuckinlutely nothing.

Good luck with the sale. I like the tower speakers, the whole tower actually, it looks really good. That, and how clean it looks, will make the sale easier. I really cant see the color being a big deal, if it turns out to be, suggest partial wraps, they could make it any color they want haha.

unrelated question, is there purple on the face of the speakers? Or is it just reflection from the bimini?

I like the color myself as well!! I recently bought our boat a 2005 22v. I looked for probably 3-4 months at Craiglist mostly. Below is a list of 22i Tiges that are currently listed on Craigslist. I know they aren't 07 models but maybe it will help. You can go to craigslist and look up these individually. I don't know how they compare to your boat specifically. I do know in my search for our boat, I seemed to me that 22i's were a little less then 22v's, all else being basically the same. Also, my experience with giving it to the dealer is whatever they are willing to give you add $4000 and they will be trying to sell if for that.

The comment about how much a bank will give someone to buy a boat is spot on. What the low price in the book will be is all the bank will give. So you have to wait for the right buyer with some cash to come to the table. Your asking price - low book price = cash someone has to bring to the table.

In buying our current boat, we also sold another boat and was warned about this (bank loan issue). We stuck with our asking price, a buyer was found and we agreed to a price just a little lower due to end of season issue and another boat on the property.

Another side note is...Canadian Buyers. I won't get into it but if you can find a way to market your boat to them, you might have more luck getting it sold. The boat I sold was in Oregon and I had 2:1 Canadian buyers vs other buyers. It was incredible.

Good Luck. Your boat looks nice and clean.

Take it easy. All he is saying is that fewer people will be interested in purchasing a purple boat than if the boat was white, red, or black. Even if everything else about the boat is exactly what they are looking for, the fact is that not as many folks want a non-traditional boat color. But, you only need to find one person who wants to buy it, and that could happen the first day you list it.

What talltigeguy said is not slamming your boat, he was simply stating the truth that the color will reduce your pool of potential buyers. I have an orange boat, and I would be in the same situation whenever I would try to sell it.

X2, and when I gave my first shot at NADA, all I knew about the boat is that it is a 2007 22i and it has a tower with board racks and speakers. There are many more options to add to your boat I'm sure that would bump up your asking price, just go down the list on NADA and add the equipment on your boat. And I do believe that the price on NADA does not include the price of the trailer. At least it didn't for my new boat when my bank rep went through the NADA list to get me approved.

My humblest apologies for offending you so badly. I did not mean it to bring out such strong feelings.

I can guarantee you that what I said is not ridiculous, in fact others agree with me. Maybe you should take a poll and you will find that there are a large percentage who would say they will NEVER own a purple boat, and only a few people who say they would never own a more standard color. So your prospective pool of buyers is smaller. Frankly, I think your boat is very nice looking, but I would only buy it if it were deeply discounted, or if I thought I would never have to sell it.

As far as the comment about people who want you to buy the boat they want, I don't even understand what that has to do with this. Did I suggest a boat for you to buy?

I think that's a little over board ...I'll admit, my boat does have a small line of purple, mixed in with the black, white, and blue. However, your boat has a lot more purple, and honestly color would definitely detur me from purchasing it. Maybe I'm shallow, but I know if I am not 100% happy with the purchase it will bug be forever.

The last truck I bought I wanted white, silver, or black; 5-spd, 4x4, v6, x-cab. I knew exactly what I wanted and I didn't even look at trucks that strayed.

Also it being the end of the season a lot of people do not want to store or need to sell their boats. I've seen a lot of nice boats going on CL in the past month. The motivated sellers will push their boats quicker.

Most banks won't loan the full amount of the sale on a boat anyway so the buyer will need to put some money down to get the proper financing. NADA is a good guideline but it could be high or low for your area and the laws of supply and demand seem to overrule NADA.
