Why such a high price for used 2001, 42-44 foot Regals 4160's?

[Pseudomind]

Ok I asked this in another thread, with no comments so I will ask here

Not a Sea Ray, but here is the ad from the Jacksonville Times-Union paper web site;

42 foot 4160 Regal 2001 Twin Cummins 370\'s, Low hours, Just take over payments 904-280-3367 42 foot 4160 Regal 2001 Twin Cummins 370\'s, Low hours, Just take over payments 904-280-3367

:huh:

After looking on line for some ads for 42 foot 4160 Regals 2001 models, I have to ask, just what the hell are these made from? Gold? I found more then one ad with a starting price of $299,000.00 for 2001 models.

Maybe a dumb question, but don't you think you would get a better response in a Regal forum versus a Sea Ray forum???

No not a dumb question, but from my experience many members here at CSR look at all manner of boats, and usually are familiar with different models.

I know I have read comments regarding Bayliners, Bluewater, Meridians, Formula, Tiara's, Carver's etc. here. I know that I look at other makes all the time when I have the opportunity.

I know for myself a 2001, 42 foot Regal model 4160 asking price of $299,000.00 appears a bit steep to me, even for an asking price. I admit I am not that knowledgeable about the Regal brand, so I am asking, thought I have been on board a few Regals, and from what I saw in my opinion I preferred Sea Ray over the Regals I looked at within the same same size category, and similar layouts.

Why not? Don't know if you can get it unless you ask. It is a nice boat and there aren't another 200 of them on the market. It's always easier to reduce the price if it doesn't sell than increase it.

The last Regal I priced out was the 4460 back in... 2006 or 2006. Fully loaded with the exception of piddly, useless stuff like bow sunpads and the washer dryer it was quite a bit less than a 420DA, even with the IPS drives.

Or the 300K guy is upside down on his loan and has to see it for that. Wish I remembered what the new price for the 4260 was in 01. Oh well. Might have that paperwork at home, but my wife probably threw it out. She likes doing that.

A couple are on the market; the guy who runs Red Line is not sombody I would do business with, but this may be the real deal:

WIth the 480 Volvo IBs this was around a 39 Knot WOT boat. The guys at the Regal forum that had the boat were fairly pleased with it. I have never run one. I like my 420DA.

I agree about the guy at Redline, full of himself.

I have run a 44 Regal with IPS drives and the thing flat out hauls ass while being whisper quiet. I prefer the Sea Rays layouts inside but the cockpits on the 44 Regals are very nicely laid out.

All of that being said, I would prefer to be in a 410,420,44,460,48 DA in anything over 3's. Just personal preference speaking from very intimate experience!

The inside looks very nice, wish I could say the same for the outside.

Thanks for the answers, but even at the link above

This is a 44 foot,2008 model and the asking price is $339,000.00, true I guess it is not a 4160 model, which is smaller and seven years older with an asking price of $299,000.00 hence my asking the question in the first place.

Not about anyone getting their knickers in a wad, but more out of curiosity. Even with an asking price of $299,000.00 albeit it is a diesel and mine is not, it is still more then twice (plus a good bit more) the asking price I paid for my boat.:huh:

Like I have said I am just curious, and was looking for a possible reason.

:thumbsup:

People will set a price as high as possible and then work down from asking price...very difficult to go the other way!

The 4160 is the same boat as the 44.

I had a regal while on Lake Erie, very sea worthy boat, well put together, but just not a Sea Ray...This boat is just over priced in a flooded market. Mama might of told him to list it, and he did , at a price that would never sell it....
