I would have to agree with Eisboch... Offer 32.. You might be surprised with
a 34 counter..

I'm buying a new boat, most likely a Malibu Wakesetter. Does anyone
know how much play in price is typical? This boat is about 37K.
Would the dealer actually take 35K, or is the price relatively fixed?
Is the pricing similar to cars, where bargaining is very important?
I'd really appreciate any comments.

thanks,
james


I'd start lower than 35k, James. Boats and RVs are very negotiable
items.
If the Malibu Wakesetter is a very popular boat and the dealer sells every
one he gets, then you might have to raise your offer.

I'd offer 32k or even less to start. Leave your phone number, go home and
wait for the call.
