Hey guys! I'm new here (just registered) and I'm looking to purchase my first PWC. I grew up on the lake wakeboarding, riding jet skis, etc. and I've ridden dirtbikes (and sport bikes) my entire life so I am not new to the water sports/power sports world, I've just never owned my own jet ski. So after some research I've decided on a 2019 GTR X 230. Initially I was going to buy used until I ran across a '19 GTR X 230 listed for $10,900 and decided I would like to buy new with a warranty.
Unfortunately the one I found alread sold. I've found some other ones in my area and the list prices have varied from $10,900 to $11,500 to $12,500 and up to retail of $13,199. So I called about one yesterday and got to speak to the sales manager. He gave me an OTD price of $13,400 plus a $100 gift card for accessories. I told him about the ones I've seen listed for as low as $10,900 and he explained that usually models that are listed with that much of a discount, they add a bunch of fees to and by the time it's said and done it ends up being about the same cost as the ones listed for more. I'm unfamiliar with the PWC retail world so I don't know what kind of fees get tacked onto these things. My question is, does $13,400 OTD seem like a reasonable deal on a 2019 GTR X 230? He claimed that was the lowest he could go. I can afford it, I just want to get some feedback from those of you experienced with this before I purchase in case I should hold out and look for a better deal...or maybe that's a reasonable deal and I should jump on it? Thanks guys, and I hope I posted this in the right section.
