Default NEW Boat Profit Margins

Tuuk wrote:

I think you should do as much research as possible on your new boat,
research price, boat and motor. Squeeze the dealer as much as possible, this
will in turn force him to squeeze the supply chain ahead of him. I am sure
there are 25% margins available to be worked on, I do not think a 5% margin
is unreasonable. There will be warranty work that they will receive
remuneration from the manufacture and there will be extras and more value
the dealer can add to the sale. They will make money from you, but for the
big purchase, squeeze that down as much as you can. When they start talking
manufacture suggested retail prices, then say they will give you 10 off or
an extra 5%, you offer to buy the boat for 45% off the manufacture suggested
retail price, they will still make money.



Is this the price you have to pay to foch some dumb broad from down under?

You haven't a clue, Tuuk, on this or anything else.
