Is this price worth it for these Jet Ski's?

Question

Ok my husband REALLY wants to buy 2 jet skis. We found 2 1999 Sea Doo GSX RFI's they are in great condition with 114 hours on each. The cost is $7000. That includes:

1. both jet ski's

2. a double jet ski trailer in great condition

3. an almost new cover for both

4. 4 life jackets

It also includes it to be "Summerized" in May (getting it all ready for water) Anyways, I dont know ANYTHING about jet skis so I was just wondering if this is a good price.

Thanks to anybody that can help!

Answer 1

The retail value of those jet skis is around $2500 each according to ABOS blue book (granted they're in good shape). That doesnt include the trailer, which being 9 years old, isn't worth more than a few hundred dollars (brand new they can be found for around $1300.) It doesn't take much labor to recommission a jet ski for the summer, unless it is getting an entire tune-up. Extras like used jet ski covers or life jackets really add no dollar value to the package, but they are a nice incentive. I'd offer $5000 & see what they come back with.
