Offer a low ball number(30k) and see what the dealer counters with? You
might even want the dealer to run a credit check as a bargaining tool so the
dealer knows you can handle the financial part of the deal. Remember, don't
rush to buy especially this time of year because in most parts of the USA
the boating season is just starting!

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
