prices for Jet Ski?

I found a 2001 Sea Doo GTX DI 3 passenger at a local dealer. It only has 80 hours on it and looks new.Kelly Blue book says 3,200 in average retail but this is way above average.

They want $5,900 for it but that seems a little too high even with the extremely low hours ... What do you guys think?

Thanks

Seems really high. Regardless of condition, you're talking about a 10 year old machine.

80 hours 800 hours or 8000 hours they all could break down tomorrow, or not ever have a problem.

lots of people have a mindset what they think its worth and they wont settle for anything less. they wont sell it either. print off the KBB value show it to them, and offer them just a little bit above the kbb. if they aren't happy with that. part ways and say, good luck trying to sell it at that price and when you realize it wont happen give me a call and maybe i will buy it if i havent found something different already.

That's a $3500 machine tops. Find some ads for the same or similar PWC's and use them as bargaining tools if you really want that particular PWC. If it has a trailer the used trailer is probably worth $350 if it is a single place trailer.

Wow -- that was quick great information. I wonder why he wants that much.

At that price your close to the value of a newer 4-stroke model. condition and hours do effect the price, but the newer technology is better, quieter, and you will use less gas and no oil.

good point ... thanks

[Dahitman44]

what should that go for?

in that ood of condition? $4500?

[Dahitman44]

any other thoughts?

[Ralph Wiggum]

Trailer or not? I don't think I'd go more than $4K on it. $3K-$3.5K seems more reasonable to me.

[Ralph Wiggum]

There's an '03 GTX DI on "c r a i g s l i s t" right now for $4300 with trailer and cover.

Lime green is a nice color to choose too. Gulls love it....they think its some sort of gull two holer.

Ahhhhh life is good.
