Used 200 prices

[swc5150]

When do you guys think we'll start seeing used 200's in the mid $30's? There appears to be an ample supply of them for sale out there, and have been since the summer. Just wondering when the laws of supply and demand will kick in, since I want one:-) I'm also curious what some people paid for them new, as numerous asking prices are pretty darn close to what I was quoted new in 2010/2011. Is my dealership just awesome, or are people paying "too much" elsewhere? I imagine the model year 2012 inflation factor is coming into play as well? 2011 pricing helped me get more for my 196 than I paid for it.

Mid 30's? I suspect at least 3-4 more years for a base 2010 CB to get there. Maybe a ski school with a bunch of hours will be there sooner. Or a repo or something. '09 196s are in the mid $30k's. 200s will be $8k-10k more than the 196s.

I agree with Clemson Dave. If there is one it will be a base model with no options and have high hours on it. Right now they are holding there value pretty good.

I bet it wont be more than 1-2 yrs before you start seeing 200's in the mid 30's. Its not hard to find one in the $40-45k range now, and Ive seen a few below $40k. Like this one:

Have you inquired on any promo boats? They usually have pretty nice pricing.

Miami Nautiques has a couple at $42k asking. Not sure how they would deal? I'm holding off until late winter to seriously look. They can't elude the $30's much longer
