Purchasing Discounts

Post by smashboat »

I'm wondering what type of discounts I should be getting on a 2020 R5.
Retail for the boat is $160.689, right off the bat the dealer gave me a price of $135,937 & an additional $1500 off for the End of Summer Cobalt sale. Should I be asking for more off? If so how much?
They are also including
Bottom paint
Coast guard Pack
Full Detail
Full tank of gas
5 hours of lessons
Outdrive paint
Rigging
Should I ask for any toys?
Im wrapping this up on Tuesday, I want to make sure I get the best possible deal
Thanks!!

Tell them when they get to 30%, you'll buy. They also make money off of financing even if you dont want to finance. Might cost you $500 in interest to hold a loan for 8 months - dealer gets several thousand.

Get at least 25-29%

Is that rude to say or is completely normal that they give that much off?

Probably depends on your dealer. 25% should be pretty easy IMO, but I would still target 28-30.

My dealer stalled at 21% at the start of the season. I think I’d be able to get a few more points off at the end of the season. I don’t know if I’d get to 29% off on a deal but others here say you can. Are you in a hurry? I’m told new R series models will be introduced in October

Cobalt dealers have there own territory. If your not in there territory they can't sell it to you. Sucks for you good for them. Sorry.

The dealer I worked with took 25% off without question. That was on my 220, but he was willing to make the same deal on any model.
