Looking at trading my 05' Crownline 250CR on this 320. I'm in GA and it's in NY so I can't just run down and take a look at it.

It appears to be in decent shape. I think the price is a little high for an 03' though. Any thoughts. Thanks for any help guys. I've been dreaming of a 320 for a few years now!

first i would never buy a boat without a generator and i dont see one in the listing, my buddy works there i could ask for some info on her if you like just pm me i'll get an honest opinion from him he's a huge 320 fan.
 
It has 300 hrs and it has a generator. 350 mags V-Drive. My 250 has a kohler genset. I couldn't live without it!
 
If you scroll down to the bottom it says generator and V drives. You might want to compare on boattrader.com, and there's a liquidator yachtauctions.com and see what they have. Love my 320..

You should be able to negotiate a better price than what they are asking, and if you do and you get it contingent on full survey and sea trial, then go for it!!
 
I've been hitting boattrader and other auction sites pretty hard to compare pricing. There are some boats that are considerably cheaper but upon further research they are brokered boats that they cannot take a trade on. They are cheap because the owner is bleeding money and needs to sell it for what they owe. If they will get right on the price I will have a survey on the boat. If she passes that I will make the trip from GA to NY to have a sea trial. I have always wanted to check out NY. What better way to do then checking out a new to me boat!
 
I believe they have. It is an older stock number and my salesman said that they were motivated to move it.
 
I traded up from a 250 to a ’03-320 DA this winter. Mine doesn’t have the Generator but only 150hrs and it has the camper top. Paid 84,500.00, it is in showroom condition!

Sounds exciting! Good luck with the negotiations and let us know what happens!
 
I got the price down to 95k on the boat but the kicker is the bank will only loan 75k on this boat. I guess 03' models don't book out too well. I have a little negative equity on my end but not much. 20K is a big gap between what its worth and what you pay. I guess the market is better than the bank thinks it is right now.
 
Sounds like they want 20% down these days. I am sure a minimum down would be 10% in today's market.
 
I am in Ga., Lake Lanier, Holiday, I bought mine last September and for an 04 I paid 79,900.00. Call Singletonmarinegroup on Holiday road or try there web site, they have a sales dock at Holiday. Good luck.
 
C6,
The price is too high. I paid $120,000 last October which included a $35K trade allowance for my 2006 320 with 55 hours. That boat is 3 years older and had 250 hours more. If they can give you a good trade in allowance for your boat compared with what you could broker it for, the price might not be as bad. My 320 was brokered but Chicago Sea Ray worked out a buy/sell deal with the owner to take my boat in trade and then sell it back. My suggestion is try and get a lower price other consideration such as an extended warranty or look for a newer boat for the same money.
 
Thanks for the info! Do you remember what the asking price was for your boat when you bought it? I say one of their boats on boattrader but it was brokered and they wouldn't allow a trade. I might just try to broker my boat and see where that gets me.[

Took gg51p's advice and checked out Singleton Marine Group here on lake Lanier. Put in an offer on a 2004 320 and the owner accepted much to my surprise.

I went to give the Business Manager my last two years tax returns and a urine sample this morning:grin:. I filled out some personal financial statement and he pulled my credit. My Wife's Credit was a 775 and mine was 757. They are telling the that 7.4-7.99% interest is the best to expect for an 04' boat. Does this sound correct? I have been told you could get mid 6's with good credit.
 
I'll sell you mine for $80K! My wife pisses ands moans that I didn't buy her a 340 still! Every time she sees one...
