Sell or not?

[gibbs114]

I can't make up my mind should I sell my 2014 and get a 2015 or wait a year and see what 2016 brings.

I think the 15 is awesome with the raptor engine, new tige touch and the upgraded surf link.

I can tell you from flipping every year that the used market was very soft this late summer/ early fall. That said its worse now as most are done for the season and no one is going to buy a boat just to store it unless its a smoking deal. Comparatively speaking I sold my 2014 for $3500 less than my 2013. Plus my 13 sold in 8 hours and my 14 took 4 or 5 price drops and almost a month. Personally I'd wait for the 16's and let someone else work the bugs out versus spending a lot of time at the dealer.

Unless you are buying at or near dealer cost flipping a boat within a year is going to cost you 10K plus. Also there are a TON of 14 holdovers around the country your going to compete against. Not trying to be a negative Nancy, just trying to be honest. But at the end of the day only you know whats right for you.

I want to wait but I also don't want my boat to loose much value. The 15s aren't that impressive to me and I do buy my boats at great deals.

The 15's are nice but I'm afraid of the new motor and not sure about the new surf system when I already have a VX and upgraded sacs. The new TT looks sweet I think that's the best upgrade.

The TT going to the murphy based system is a nice upgrade, IMO!

I'm waiting till 2016 for my next tige based on what was previously discussed about havn the issues all worked out on one, 2015 have a lot of changes on them and I think that it needs some lake time to see what issues may or may not arise.

I would bet that in order to sell now, you would lose more money than if you waited until spring. I always hear stories of guys who have success this time of year, but nobody is in a hurry to buy a boat, and no matter how low you list it, most offers are going to be 10K less than that. You could offer to give it away for free and these knotheads would ask you to throw in an extra 5 grand for their trouble.

The first year of financing a boat most people will be upside down. We are waiting till 2016. The first year depretiation combined with selling in the fall will be a very expensive upgrade.

I'm possibly trading in my 14 for a 15 only because my boat was plagged with a motor issue all season, and the dealer and tige are working on making up for my troubles.
Apples for apples trade in would be more like $20 grand, if you sold it out right maybe not so bad.

Bankers haven't learned anything from the recession yet? A down payment is there to protect the banker from when the buyer defaults, and it protects the banker from a deflationary economy as well. I guess when you just get bailed out by the government when you make stoopid decisions, you never learn.

Are banks already back to giving loans for little to nothing down?

[boardman74]

When the mark up is 25% cost to MSRP its not hard to make it look like there is money down. You get a good deal say 20% off and it looks like your only loaning 80% of value and the bank it happy.

You can buy 2015.

You can buy 2015.

You can buy 2017 now. Not sure if you are spam, or just a new member that didnt realize this thread is 2 years old.
