2018 G23 Base Price? Before options: same at each dealer right?

[Dunebuddy]

I have been looking at 2018 G23's. I have received a few quotes... and like most I have done the math of the discount by taking the MSRP and dividing it by Sell price.. Most dealers range from 16 to 20 percents.. But some of the quotes have the base price at 160k and others 154k... at seedealercost.. it shows 154k... most all dealers are 154k.. But the one dealer with the boat I want is 160k.. I have also added up and verified all the options..transport, taxes etc...but it does not make since ...factory base price should not vary?? Right...is this a dealer scam to trick someone into thinking they are getting a better deal?

Also if buying a 2018 Nautique Demo... what discount would one expect with a boat with 100hrs..that was part of the Demo program but has 100hrs on it?

I dont want to be a jerk..and I understand why dealers vary in prices... but could this be a bad deal?

Two examples of the different base prices?

[NautiqueJeff]

$154,807 is the correct base price.

Does the second one maybe include a trailer?

Nautiquejeff,

The second one does not include trailer..the trailer is listed under options and is added on top of the 160k.. I am going to try and clarify if this is a mistake. I do know that the 2019 base price has gone up...so I am hoping this is the mistake made. But I heard it has gone up 6% which still doesnt equal 160k. So I guess I will question it.

Another 6% this year...ouch!

Timmy.....the MSRP is shown with the boat previews on the Nautique website. The 2019 price is on there now.....not sure of the exact amount for the 2018. '19 price is $164,946

Kenv - great tip - using the awesome power of the Internet Way Back Machine Archive I was able to dig it out of the past:

You may find getting multiple quotes counter productive as dealers are not supposed to sell outside their territories.

I was a little confused by some of the pricing I received from my dealer when looking for a new boat. (Custom order vs stock inventory)
The base price and options all added up, but there seemed to be some wiggle room in what was charged for freight, prep, batterys, ect.
Maybe if they are able to ship multiple boats and the same time it is cheaper than a one off custom order? I don't know.

I also wonder when the price increase goes into effect. It is not always precisely when the new model year comes out. Perhaps one dealer was working off of an old form?

My 2018 G23 base price was $154,807.00, see below list price sheet.



The 2019 base was $164,946.

Daaannng. Is there anything you didn't get? (no supercharged engine). Since I am too lazy to add it up....what does that come to?

The list price was $202,764.00. No thruster too! I paid much less than that of course. But since I get a new boat every 1 to 2 years I order what I want and what gives me a good chance for a quick resale. Either way my costs each year to upgrade are about $130/hr. On the 19 I deleted the enhanced lighting and table. I never really used them enough to justify the cost.
