After a lot of reading I have decided on the Sea-Doo GTX Limited iS 260. I have owned two Honda Aquatraxs in the past and this seems to be light years ahead.

I am getting ready to visit my local Sea-Doo dealer to see what kind of a deal they will offer me for the ski and a triton trailer.

Should I expect to pay list or do they discount. Any help before I go this weekend would be helpful.

Thanks in advance

I can only talk about the 2011 RXT I bought about 2 weeks ago. The dealer in Oklahoma City had a discounted boat show price of $13,100. But we had stopped at Total Marine in Eufaula OK just to look the week before. I called them, told them who I was and was quoated a flat $12,000.

Well I drove the 110 miles the next day to pick it up. Bought my Yaught Club trailer brand new from a dealer that went out of buisness for $500 (about a $300 savings).
The still had a couple more trailers including 1 or 2 triton trailers for $900.

So don't know where you are located but that shows there is room to negotiate if they want to.

Hope that helps

OK the dealer says it will sell me the ski for MSRP ($16499) but would include the GTX Limited iS 260, Triton Aluminum trailer and all taxes, tag and other fees. I would still want to buy the $1700 extended warranty/maint agreement which includes rebuliding the supercharger as needed (about every 100hrs).

Is this a good deal

It is a BEAUTIFUL ski, but as the other guy mentioned, NEVER pay retail...times are tough, and these dealers gotta realize, 100% of 0 is 0, and 1% of something is SOMETHING, so if they wanna make ANY money, let them know the ball is in YOUR court...theres ALWAYS another deal out there for you..you can negotiate, and if you dont like what you hear, you WALK...guarantee they'll stop you on your way out..(i literally had a grown man run outside and start tapping on our window last year at a dealership when i went to buy a car, and they didnt give us the price we wanted to hear)..I would tell them, ok, you want me to pay retail? I'll pay retail...INCLUDE the trailer, the warantee, tax tag and title, and they've got a deal...thats a far stretch, but i guarantee, if you start walking, they'll at least come back with something A LOT better than the original deal..YOU HAVE NOTHING TO LOSE....YOU'RE THE ONE WITH THE CASH!!!!GOOD LUCK!

Ok it is like this, your dealer is smoking something if he thinks he can get away charging retail on the most expensive Ski in production, $16,500. Are you kidding me? Ok lets break this down:

2011 GTX Limited 260 iS-- $16,500.00
__________________________________________________ _______________

Triton aluminum single place trailer-- $750.00

Not sure what your tax rate is. Lets use 5% as an example-- $825.00

Dealer prep and doc fees-- $300.00 approx

Total of "Freebies"--$1875.00

__________________________________________________ _______________

Total $16,500 - $1875 = $14,625 real price for ski.


Kinda middle of the road deal not bad , not great.

I think you still got wiggle room for several reasons. One being the season is nearing the end. Believe me people aren't lining up at the door to drop $16,500 in todays economy. So that makes you a VIP customer.

I would shoot for a free cover $200

$200.00 in free accessories.

I would also ask for free oil change @ 10 hrs

These things are not like cash to him.
