Boat Pricing - NADA, KBB, ?????

[dimarcobros]

I went on to to NADA to see what the price of our retail price of our 2004 COnquest Deckboat Top Cat II would be and it gave us a price of about $62,000. That's can't be right can it? Am I doing something wrong?

I'll buy it from you for that price :)
You better go get some Boattrader's and see what they are selling for...nada sucks!

I know it is worth way more than that, I just saw a 2002 or 3 Top Cat I listed for at around $90K.

its kinda tricky... but your best bet is to take Essex29's advice. nada, buc, kbb etc.. are basically helpful guides.. not really accurate for their prices.

They work out great for negotiating on buying a used boat, but if your selling one :mad:
I think the mfgs set the prices low for trade in values :angry2:

The prices that you see in NADA may or may not be what the real value is.
The manufacturer can submit all of the values for all of the past years if he so chooses to establish the value of the boat.
