Larson Cabrio 310

Hello Larson Owners!

I'm looking to upgrade and I found this ad on craigslist:

http://chicago.craigslist.org/sox/boa/1861412125.html

LARSON CABRIO 310 - $33900 (SOUTH HAVEN MI)
Date: 2010-07-24, 5:48PM CDT

1997 LARSON CABRIO, LOA 32.5, BEAM 10.5, TWIN VOLVO 350 MAGS, NEW S.S PROPS, TRANSEM SHOWER, 3 SINKS, AC AND HEAT, HOT AND COLD WATER, SLEEPS 6, 19IN LCD TV WITH BUILT IN DVD PLAYER, 2003 LOADMASTER TRAILER, GPS, RAYMARINE, SEROUS BUYERS ONLY PLEASE

I really don't know much about Larson so I thought I'd stop by and get some opinions. Obviously if you're in this Larson forum, you hopefully have a favorable opinion of them. If not, I'd love to hear about that too. I just didn't want to go into the main forum and ask opinions because I don't want this discussion to devolve into people bashing each others' boats.

So, is the above a decent value? I ran a quick NADA appraisal and it appears that I'm missing something or that there's a big disconnect in what people think their boats are worth and where the market has actually taken them. Thoughts?

I'm really only browsing at this point but I thought there might be some helpful folks here with a few words. Thanks!

I'd look around some more. I think that boat is on yachtworld http://www.yachtworld.com/boats/1997/Larson-Cabrio-310-2153057/Hastings/MN/United-States

I would do a dealer search in, say, a 500 mile radius and see what the pricing is on newer and/or repo boats.

We bought our 2007 as "new" last year with 8 hours on the engines and full warranties from a dealer for about $.38 cents on the dollar.

As for the boat, we love it.
