What would you pay for 2015 R5

Post by Chrispval »

Looking for everyones price opinion. A freshwater R5 under 100 hours with BB 430. Loaded with almost every option including windlass, trim tabs, rgb lighting, motorbox actuator, aluminum tower, etc.
I am thinking this could be my next boat.

I've been looking at boats (because I like too) and cars (bought for daughter, looking near future for wife).
I've come to the conclusion...prices are only going up.
If you even think it's a good deal, close before someone else does.
Buddy of mine owns a car dealership. Normally when a used car doesn't see in maybe 100 days, they drop price.
Infinity SUV I looked at for my wife was $30,800...now $31,800. He's having a hard time stocking his lot with new cars, so trade ins are down.

I still am hesitant on luxury purchases. I think price of manufacturing will go up, but I also think that eventually, some people will start unloading their boats as these restrictions loosen and travel increases. It is a good price considering the they checked all the boxes on optional upgrades.

It sounds like it’s the one! I’d go for if the color is right too. As tempted as I have been to pull the trigger on a couple I’ve held true to my must haves so far. If I wasn’t paying top dollar I would probably give in to a different color or less options, but I don’t want to get stuck over paying for a boat that I don’t like the color.

To answer you your question I agree with BB. $110
Good luck! I hope it works out.

Do it!
Yea our used car inventory is normally over 100 I could count the keys on the board their were 25. New cars same thing like 3 minivans and like 7 ram trucks and a bunch of jeeps. It's crazy we have 250 new vehicles on order and they might get here by July. April might be ugly.

So again Do It!
It won't be cheaper tomorrow 👍
Thinking of flipping it will not happen. I watch for a boat every day for 2 years not that many great deals out their.

What is the asking price for the boat?
Bottom line, a boat is worth what someone is willing to pay for it.
Are you financing it? If so do it now, interest rates are going up and will likely be up for a long time to try to bring down the inflation that is very likely going to be in full swing by the end of the year.

Lol! True! There are no bad colors. If all boats were blue or black it would be super boring. I tell my wife all the time “sometimes I’m tired of eating just green m&ms. I want to try a yellow one!” She doesn’t laugh at that for some reason. 🤔

Color is right. I am not looking to flip it, but its 4 - 5 years till I likely do trade up in years due to its age. New msrp was 167. Here is what I struggle with. A less optioned boat without a 430, and with a 380. Maybe a few years newer so I can get closer to 8 years of use before trading up.

Remember that 430 was 11k option. What other big options are on her? The bad is maybe no glass dash.
