8.?% sales tax, yea, and like $997 for destination/prep (stated on the
Bayliner site), but don't know where the balance of the "$12,875 out the door price is". I'll ask. Thanks for this info - it gives me a much better insight. Don't know if dickering with this MSRP is even worth it since I see how much more the 185's and 195's are. For example, the 185 jumps up to $16,???, and the 195 like 18K+. wrote in message ups.com... Do they itemize the remaining portion of the $2880 that isn't sales tax? (Sales tax should be about $900, right?) As far as "how flexible are dealers with the $9,999 MSRP?" Obviously very. They flexed *up* almost $2k. There probably isn't much profit in that boat at $9,999. Often isn't on leaders, and the $9999 price has been the advertised MSRP on the entry level boat for a long time. Costs have been climbing while the price has not, so the only thing that can give way is profit. The dealer may be required to purchase a certain number of the loss leaders, but cannot be compelled to sell them at a price the factory "suggests". The dealer might actually need to ask for the additional dough over and above MSRP to make the deal pencil; in which case the builder is to blame for publishing an unrealistic MSRP just as much as the dealer is to blame for failing to follow the "manufacturer's suggeston". |
