    No Nautique dealer in my area, what to do???

    I currently have my 216V up for sale to upgrade, but would definitely consider trading the boat in on a NSS model. New or used is not out of the question. The problem is that there are no Nautique dealers remotely close to my location. I have inquired on a couple boats on dealer sites that are quite away from me, but they either don't respond or offer a ridiculously low price on trade. Another thought is what would I do for warranty work (if the boat was new enough to have warrany left)?

    Any thoughts or suggestions would be appreciated!

    If you're serious about a boat they have dnr get discouraged by the lowball trade offer. They're often much lower sight unseen. They give you a worse case scenario in case your boat isn't up to par. Everyone's idea of "showroom "/well maintained is not the same. They aren't giving you a high offer because then they're stuck eating it. Numbers are workable , but calling on the phone and negotiating that way (with boats) doesn't work so well.

    It's two fold. It's easy for a sakes guy to just throw high sale and low trade numbers out over the phone. Keeps the tire kickers at bay. May they lose a serious customer using this method? Every once in while yes. It's easy to write off a phone salt hundred or so miles a way. Pull up w your boat sit down and show them you're here to deal and u can guarantee the numbers get better.

        I recently traded my 05 SAN in for a new boat from a dealer that is 1800 miles from my house. I got a super fair trade-in value for mine, sight unseen. In fact, I was shocked by their offer, but I took a lot of pictures from all angles in different types of light which displayed the showroom condition it was in. If your boat is a creampuff, you shouldn't have too hard of a time although the one thing that may be affecting you is the level of demand for the 216V.

          I know this sounds like a broken record, but call a big dealer like N3 or Buxton and they will work site unseen and have a good deal of low hour NSS equipped boats.
