Local Dealer Sales Area -Trying to buy leftover '19 inventory from out of area dealer

[Longhorngary]

Does anyone know the rules for buying from an out of area dealer? I understand not being able to buy current year model inventory from an out of area dealer, but I don't understand it when your talking leftover prior year inventory when the local dealer no longer has that product in inventory. I understand that any dealer can sell pre-owned to anyone, so it seems like a gray area to me.

Any dealer can sell any boat to anyone.

The deal is that the selling dealer is supposed to pay a (fairly substantial) fee to the local dealer if they sell a new boat out of territory.

Interesting. I never knew that.

It was a few years ago, but I negotiated a deal with an out of town dealer on a leftover model. Then, I got my local dealer to buy it from the out of town dealer. He went and picked it up and I bought it from the local one, plus a fee for picking it up. Might be an option for you to try if your out of town dealer isn’t too far away.

How do you know what the territory is?

I have one dealer 2 hours basically straight east, a second dealer basically two hours straight south, a third dealer 2.5 hours northwest. And I recently learned that there is a fourth dealer 2.5 hours northeast.

Enter your zip code into the "find a dealer" section on the Nautique website and it will provide you the local dealer for your zip.

Yes, its just like going over the bridge into jersey and pulling a job, when you get back home dont forget somethings gotta go upstairs to the boss !

liken warranty from the dealer who didnt get the msrp off you to going over the bridge into jersey to pull a job w/o asking permission first !

Just keep in mind you need to get it serviced. Boats are not like chevy or ford buy at dealer A and service at dealer B. I would try to work something out with your local guy.
