Well, dealer just rejected my final offer, no deal unless he has second thoughts.  No worries, there will be other opportunities.

..........I have a question regarding NADA Guide values between a 2002 & 2003 C34.  Would there be any substantial justification why the 2003 is valued 8-10K higher than a 2002, all things being equal?

Steve,  welcome.

No.

Thanks for the welcome Stu.  Looking forward to getting all the assistance that the C34IA provides.

All things are never equal. Condition is key. But buying/selling boats is an emotional undertaking for both parties, so value can be somewhat relative.

The thing that's interesting about the NADA Guide is that they don't take condition into account, and yes, I'm trying to keep emotion out of the buying process or otherwise I would have just handed over a big chunk of cash and given the seller his asking price!

We'll keep you all posted as to the final outcome of the negotiations.

We're in the final stages of negotiating on a C34 MKII after spending some time in the past years perusing this excellent website.  The "what would you say to a prospective owner" really hit on some of the best of the C34.  I really should have registered sooner but some say better late than never, but I have a question regarding NADA Guide values between a 2002 & 2003 C34.  Would there be any substantial justification why the 2003 is valued 8-10K higher than a 2002, all things being equal?

If we do close on the C34, I'll make the quick move from registered to member!

Thanks for any replies,
Steve
