Good Deal? Thoughts?

[FLSeadoo1]

I just wet tested a 2006 Challenger 180 with brand new interior (Sunbrella), new radio, new bilge system, new battery and starter. It has about 80 hours on the motor, and it looks immaculate. The guy was asking 14500 and just accepted my offer of 13 cash with all accessories including bimini, boat cover, towropes, life jackets, fire ext., trailer and new led lighting. Started on the first try and runs nicely. What does everyone think? Pull the trigger? I have priced this out with boat trader and NADA and this looks to be about $1500-$2000 under the low retail. A search of craigslist and ebay also showed this to be a great deal.

I take it is the 215HP engine?? I found I believe a 2008 model with lower hours in the Tampa/St.Pete area and the guy was asking $15,500....I'm sure you could get him close to your 13K plus it would be 2 years newer. I found it on craigslist...will check right now to see if it's still there....

Thats not a horribly bad price but I have seen 08's going for 15 to 16. Which engine is this? Also, has it been mostly salt water usage?

Nevermind, I found an 07 Challenger SE loaded out with 51 hours and garage storage. Photos look mint but I have to drive 2.5 hours to get it. Accepted $13,800

 

[thor7000]

Is the SE the 215HP or the 255HP??

215. Looks really clean and mint.
