NADA , ADOS or Kelley Blue Book. I'm trying to buy a boat from a dealer and he said they don't use NADA they use ADOS and I've never herd of ADOS. Could someone lighten the subject for me please

NADA
|
Never heard of ADOS prolly just some way for them to bend you over
|
Tell him NADA is what everyone else uses, and that is what you would use to resell the boat. A decent deal would be somewhere between low and high nada value. People very rarely pay full retail. The only time that happens is on old boats in great shape.
|
What kind of boat,hours,condition,price etc. I'm sure with that info more than a few people on here will give you a real good idea on price.
|
Say ADIOS to ADOS!
|
it's a 2001 Correct Craft Super Air Nautique 21' 320 h.p. <BR>cover, cd, depth finder, heater, a pair of board racks, rear teak platform, NO perfect pass, it has 500p of ballast in the rear and a 500p fat sack for the ski locker, so not much for a true ballast system.
|
29k to 32k depending on hours and location
|
Actually Ados is the marine blue book that virtually every dealer uses. It is probably the closest most accurate blue book strictly for boats.

...every dealer? Not the dealer I traded my old boat and bought my new boat from...or the banks my two boat loans were through, or the marine surveyer that appraised my last boat...
|
My bank uses NADA to determine the loan amount for my boat. So Nada.
|
Sparky, sorry not every dealer but quite a few do. Most banks check NADA for values.
|
ADOS <BR>another dumb ol' salesman!!!!! <BR> <BR>use nada.com to see the real value.
|
I'm pretty sure my bank used ADOS. I remember the loan officer saying it was basicaly the same as a Kelly Blue Book but for boats. Why not reference both for a better idea?
|
Is $26k a decent price for a '98 Maristar 225VRS with 170 hours with no tower or ballast? NADA is suggesting b/w $21-$23, but I haven't seen any Maristars in that price range.
