Negotiating with MarineMax...

[Pegjam]

Is there any? Or is their one price their one price?

I think they all have room for movement on pice. How much depends if the unit is new or used, or is it the beginning or ending of the boating season.

I looked at boat show msrp vs. boat show price, then offered several percentage points less on a custom order.

Treat Marine Max like any used car salesman who'd screw their dying mother. I walked away from them and bought from another dealer. Telling that salesman he lost the sale, arguable, could have been the highlight of buying my boat.

Good luck. Bargain hard.

+1 I had zero luck dealing with their store at Lake of the Ozarks. They definitely want to come off as a low pressure, no haggle dealer. I didn't find them to be that.

Do your homework, everything for sale is up for negotiation.

I internet shopped around a 5 state area for my 2012 Harris. MarineMax at the Lake of the Ozarks had the best price. I believe I did well with my price but in the boat market you never know...

2012 Harris 240 Cruiser Tritoon
Mercury Verado 150
Ski Bar / Rough Water Package
Trailer

$29,900

I am looking at a Harris as well, but there are so few dealers for them and those I do find are MarineMax, so it's difficult to shop around for price.

I bought my Premier from Marine Max in Rogers, Mn. They did real good. From what they wanted and what I offered, we met about in the middle. Then they surprised me and paid me for driving 300 plus miles to see it, and bring it home. $250.00! Then, when I was getting ready to pull out the drive, the salesman gave me a card and told me to fill up both the truck and the boat with gas. The truck took 93 octane and so did the boat! That was another $165 to fill them both. I was very pleased. Not finished... Two weeks later I got an email telling me to go buy 2 batteries of my choice, up to $200 because they did not replace them during the pre-inspection. I just had to email a copy of my receipt and they promptly reimbursed me. I never felt better about buying a boat, especially after my experience with Broken Arrow (now out of business) in Lake of the Ozarks, when I TRIED to buy my Manitou. That's another story, for another day!
