Default Marine Max and pricing - also NEW vs USED

I am looking at the 06 Sea Ray 185 Sport. I want the boat in black, with the wakeboard tower.I went to Marine Max last Monday and looked at the boats. It was my first time to actually look at one seriously. I went back in there today after doing some research on the internet. The MSRP on the boat is near $30K. Marine Max has the boats discounted about $7 - $8K and say that there is no more room to work. I'm confused because I can understand the boat is discounted already, but to me thats just a "discount". I would think there is a little more money to work with in them. The boat should drive out around $24500 from what he told me and that is including 8 life jackets, bumpers, and all the stuff that is required to hit the water legally. Does that sound like a deal, or an average deal? Before taxes it was around $22,996 if I remember right. Please help me on this, I'm chomping at the bit to get one, but dont want to mess up. My second question is should I go with a very lightly used 05 185 sport for $17995 w/no tower or a new 06 for the other price. $17,9 is not drive out. That is the asking price. Thank you in advance for all of your help

Does this website have no traffic or no one wants to offer advice?
