asking $29,500, some room for negotiation, boat lives in Austin, TX

[dave210]

you will be lucky to get 24000 for a 97

[ck1105]

thanks for your 2 cents, appreciate that being the first thing that shows up under the ad...

next time keep it in your head...

Dont think dave210 was trying to be mean. What your asking is a lot. Anyone can go out and get a 2000 Super Air for 30000 with perfect pass and built in ballast. I'm sure if you come down to the 25's you will be able to sell your boat.

[SGY]

I don't think Dave was being spiteful. Nonetheless, don't negotiate unless you are interested in buying. If you have a problem with the pricing and want to give some gentle advice, how about a PM?

the only 2000 SANs for 30k are not clean boats---i have been shopping SANs for 6 months

CK1105--ask high! everyone else does too

[Erik]

I found my 2001 super sport for under 30. Barely. BUT....

I saw very very very very few sub 30k Super Airs or any year. I am sure they were out there or the sellers could have been talked down to that price... but it isnt like they are floating around at under 30k readily. One visit to flipsell will show you that.

2001 with 750 hours for 32500

Sheesh. :shock: :shock: :shock:

[dave210]

I wasnt being spiteful just realistic I have a 97 in my shop right now that is perfect and was purchased for 20500 with 378 hrs on it

[dave210]

those boats were only 31000 in 97

[ck1105]

those boats were only 31000 in 97

do some research, look at every 97 NSS for sale, and tell me what you see, the ones with 500+ hours are offered at 22-23 and the ones with less than 500 are going for 26-32, it soesn't matter what they used to be sold for there is a supply and demand market here in America, and a good v-drive nautique has a high demand, not only to I think my starting price is fair I think you don't know what your talking about. Think, research, then type...
My price may be high but I don't think that I need your opinion when you have no interest in buying my boat, I appreciate your unwanted help but leave it at home.

[dave210]

well since there is such a demand for an over priced boat why hasnt it sold yet if its such a good deal? Reallity is you are upside down on the thing and stuck with it . Theres no doubt its an awsome boat but for that price you con have one with a big "n" on the side of it. I bet the thing needs 800 dollars worth of exaust manifolds on it.

[AbunDiga909]

Ehh... I don't know about that. When we were interested in a '99 Sport w/Python (new, same year), they were giving us a quote of 44K. Then again, that dealer doesn't exist anymore... :shock:

You cannot be stuck with a Nautique, just owning one is a pleasure.

[dave210]

why are there no pics of this gem?

[ck1105]

I live in a different city than the boat does right now, I have it put away for the winter... The only pic I have is before the Flightclips and tower speakers, I was gonna wait until I had more recent pictures.

[dave210]

Where are the pics

Dave, be quite, you're crossing the line...

AbunDiga909, if you want to play moderator, go do it at your own site.

[ck1105]

Look Everyone I am sorry to have caused such a problem on the site, I just have a Nautique and wanted to sell it to get another one, and I figured that this site would appreciate it. Now everyone is getting pissed off. Dave210 when somebody is trying to sell something you don't come in and say something obnoxious like you did, just PM them and let them know what you think. On the other hand, I shouldn't have smarted off to you either. For everyone else, thanks for supporting me while I try to sell my boat. If you hate the boat then hit the back button. If you like it, tell me. If you are interested in buying it send me an email. But no more bitching on this Forum. I have learned a lot just surfing thru all the forums, but this is the only one where people are being flat out rude to others Yellow_Flash_Colorz: . If you want me remove my ad just tell me.

[Hollywood]

Don't get us wrong, we like the boat just not the...

Yes sir.... whatever you say...

[bkhallpass]

ck,

Nice boat and I hope you are able to sell it quickly and get a fair price.
I'm sure it will all work out and both you and the buyer will have great new
Nautiques to enjoy. Probably just the long winter. Folks are getting a little testy.
A little warm weather and a few good sets and all will be right in the planetnautique
world. BKH

Was this boat also for sale around this same time last year? I seem to remember a boat that was very similar to this coming up for sale when I was shopping for mine.

Also, so about the pricing thing. I have the same problem when people try to ask for 10k for their Ski Nautique 2001's. It only takes a few conversations with a Bank for you to realize that the ACTAUL value of the boats are quite often a lot less than the asking price. I found this to be very very true when it came to Super Air Nautiques. Good luck selling your boat. Boattrader was my favorite place to list, and is where I found mine.

I'll second ck1105's commment. Also, I'm not sure how Dave210 knows ck's financial situation. Not to mention, why is so concerned about what ck is asking. Most people like to bargain a price anyway. So why not start high and let them talk you down. Plus hasn't the boat only been for sale for a couple days.
CK I guess you are stuck with it. If it hasn't sold in 4 days its not going to. Just throw it away and call Dave210 next time before you buy or sell one so you can know how to do it!

[ck1105]

Added p-pass wakeboard pro, a bimini, water temp/depth gauge decided to keep.

[crowmobe540]

Keeping me out of the loop huh? What up with that? I guess we will be riding your boat more now

[tonydjd]

come on it was posted in early February stating photo's coming soon it's now late March something seems a litlle odd if you asked me.

[mike-d]

dave210
what shop do you work at in Jax? do you have any other v-drives for sale at your quoted price? let me know soon, I have a tower that needs a super sport!

[crowmobe540]

tonydjd,
What is odd about it. he said earlier in the post that the boat was in another city from where he was. Not to mention the weather in central tx has been very on and off. just curious.

[ck1105]

What is ODD, the boat sat in storage all winter, I pulled it out to take a test drive with someone. After the test drive was over Me and friends stayed on the lake a while. I fell in love with my boat again, plus Interest rates have skyrocketed and I decided to invest money upgrading the boat I had rather than upgrading boats. Here is a newer pic, but either way I decided not to sell...

[patoloco]

Enjoy your rejuvinated boat...adding a few options can make it feel new again.

Don't worry about justifying to the group why your keeping it....*most* of us don't really care what the story is.
