New Boats or Used Boats?

New or Used?
Personal finances are often a key factor in the decision to buy a new or used boat. However,other factors should be considered.

After-sale service — or lack of it.
The retail cost of a new boat includes the cost of providing warranty service. When a used boat is sold “as is,” the only thing that’s guaranteed is that the buyer will pay to fix any problem that crops up.

Financing.
New and used boats are treated equally in terms of interest rates and down payments.
However, expect some extra financing hurdles if you’re buying a boat over 15 years old or one that requires a lot of repairs.

Depreciation.
Depreciation on new boats is at its highest during the first season of use. However, depreciation on a used boat kept in good condition should level out with proper maintenance and equipment improvements.

Beauty may be only skin deep.
Cosmetic flaws caused by age and wear are hard to hide when a boat hasn’t been properly cared for, but structural defects and mechanical problems are harder to detect. Ask the owner’s mechanic for the repair history. Have the boat surveyed (see page 7). Similarly, the owner of a new boat could also be testing uncharted waters. Dealers say an average of a dozen
problems, both big and small, crop up on every new boat they sell.

    i was starting to assume i could possibly be the only young man which cared about this, at least now i learn im not insane :) i am going to be sure to examine a number various other blogposts immediately after i get a bit of caffeine in me, it can be rough to read without my coffee, I was up late last night playing myspace poker and after getting my fill with a few brewskies i ended up melting away all my facebook poker chips adios for now :)

    i’m often wandering across the net virtually all of the afternoon thus I tend to read a lot, which unfortunately isnt always a beneficial matter as some of the web sites I visit are composed of pointless crap copied from similar sites a zillion times, on the other hand I have to give you credit this webpage is certainly readable and features a lot of authentic substance, so kudos for breaking the trends of basically copying other peoples’ sites, in case you ever wanna play a couple of hands of zynga poker with me just let me know – you have my e-mail :)

    heya great little blog ya got here ;) I work with the exact design template on my website although for what ever cause it appears to reload more quickly on this website despite the fact that this blog seems to have a good deal more content material. Are you currently utilizing any specific plug ins or widgets that will speed it up? Do you think you might be able to write about the names so maybe I can use these in my personal internet site so twilight breaking dawn fans could watch twilight eclipse online trailers and videos easier I’d personally always be thankful – cheers in advance :)
