Location: Germantown, WI | I've only sold one boat about 7 years ago, but was on consignment thru dealer I bought new boat thru. I'm thinking of sellong that boat now and upgrading. Trying to figure out how to go about selling current boat.
1. If on consignment, should I expect same 10% fees currently? Will dealer charge me more if I don't buy boat them them? It's a Lund Predator 1810, am I better off going to Lund dealer to deal with them?
2. If I sell on my own , what do I need to do in terms of paperwork, contract, bill of sale, title, etc do I need to do so it goes smoothly? Do I have any obligations to notify DNR about the sale, transfer of boat registration #'s , etc? What do I want to accept as payment? Certified check from a bank? Something else?
I have a nice boat that I think would sell quickly posting it on this site, but a bit nervous handling a $15-20k transaction on my own like that.......
I'm sure I will get a lot of good feedback from all of you guys! |
