2007 Seadoo GTX Limited - a good buy?

[jg700]

Hello! New to pwc, so I have questions. Looking at a 2007 Seadoo GTX limited. The dealer is asking $6000. The ski has 121 hours. A fair price? Not sure how many hours are "too many." Well kept and clean as far as I can tell. Anything I should look for? Any help/advice is greatly appreciated!

That is a pretty good price. I'm surprised a dealer is offering that for $6k. I wouldn't sell my 08 GTX LTD for $6k but it only has 23 hrs on it. You need to ask if the sc has been rebuilt?

It is the 215HP all blue one correct? Dealers can do bait and switches if you are not familiar with each model and there is a huge difference in value.

Yes, the blue one, 215 hp. I did ask for service records, and will look into the supercharger (if it hasn't been rebuilt, should I demand it before buying?) Thanks!

Yes, demand it and have them use the newest available kit and give you the old parts so you know they did it completely including bearings. Tell them it is overdue since it should be rebuilt at 100 hrs. Make sure you water test it. It should rev to at least 8k rpms and around 70mph on the speedo.

Thanks! And one more question: Are 121 hours a lot? Too many?

 

[ski-d00]

not too many, about average I'd say for a 4 month riding season on an 07.
