Re: My Yamaha dealer has cheated me.

Thanks to all of the good advice. My single most important question, however, was not answered: What was a fair price in April 2002 for a new F100TXRY? <br /><br />I know at the very least, that I will be satisfied in the knowledge that this particular dealer will never see me again. I pay cash. I need a new duck boat, and my family is growing, I will need a bigger boat soon. I am an excellent customer, but I don't tolerate lying, poor customer service and rude behavior. I wouldn't buy a washer from this place. <br /><br />Boats are mostly a luxury item, and when the economy slows, boat sales are usually some of the first casualties. Soon, survival of the fittest will do it's job, and I'll be surprised to see this dealer in business two years from now. I've seen it happen to one dealer and one boat maker I've dealt with in the recent past. Let your money do the talking and take it to someone who appreciates your business.

Muddy Water <br /><br />Not sure what they got in 2000, but I did find this:<br /><br />2000 25" YAMAHA F100TXRY 3 YEAR WARRANTY $5,500.00 NEW<br /><br />2001 25" YAMAHA F100TXRZ 3 YEAR WARRANTY $6,900.00 NEW<br /><br />And from another source:<br /><br />2000 YAMAHA F100TXRY RETAIL PRICE $8,350.00<br />Price: $7,000.00 NEW<br /><br />All these are prices now. Hopefully you can compare and see how well you did.

Muddy Water; The difererence in price should be reflective in todays book values of the two years in question. Also as stated in an earlier post your insurance rep may be able to provide some insite as to real replacement value. That should be a pretty good representative figure also. Good Luck!<br /><br />Ghostrider :cool:
