Location: God's Country......USA..... Western Wisconsin | Treats, thanks a lot for the vote of confidence. I hope that you will stop by and see me when the time is right for you to get that new rig. As Steve stated there is a limit as to what discounts can be given. 10% off the "sticker price" is generally not in the cards unless the "sticker" price is blown out of proportion. Remember that a boat show price is probably allready discounted and that there are generally some extras at boat show time. Ie: extended warranties, free cover etc. Your best bet is to make a few calls get some reasonable price ideas, pick the dealer you like and go in sit down and make a deal. You have to remember that dealers all like to see some type of commitment toward an actual purchase. If you come in person it goes a long way towards building a relationship with your dealer. They see who you are, an actual person not just a voice on the phone. Also remember, who, at the dealership you spoke with. This will keep misunderstandings to a minimum and make sure that you don't have to start from square one all over again. Just my two cents worth as a boat salesman with a little time on my hands.
