2023 Malibu Prices

[Wilbur]

Looking at a new 2023 M240. What percent below MSRP are dealer's selling Malibus for right now?

[dwc032]

Well not an M240 and obviously area you are located plays a lot for prices. The PNW is still holding strong on boat sales, But I bought a brand new 2023 M220, MSRP was like 280 I paid 190.

$190k for a 22 foot boat.  geeeze !

is that at least out the door?

You obviously haven't bought a new boat in a while?

Wait till you see the price of the Aussie built ones. You don’t get much change out of $200k for an Open Edition TXi here, you don’t want to know the price of a Wakesetter.
 

Remember, about 10 years ago the Aussie dollar was better than parity with the USD…

Pricing varies a lot from dealer to dealer because it is specific to the demand of that area. Just because someone got x% off doesn’t mean you will. Is a good guide? Yeah but the best process I’ve found is just work directly with the dealer then bounce the % off here with details of the exact boat.

bought 22 23 foot ri in nov 2021 for 25% less ( and pretty sure my dealer still sells them out the door with a power tower  for less than that as well and i think thats the 6.2 di   , can currently get the most modern  ri hull on a fe22 for 140k with base 6 liter motor

That would truly shock me. The supremes at the boat show last weekend were 120-140 show price.

The fe22 is a new model, a stripped down centurion...but not quite down to supreme level I guess? Confusing but sounds similar to the "R" models Malibu is trying.  Will be interesting to see if they just cannibalize their own budget brand sales

And remember, the OP was for an M220 which is as nice as Bu goes. A 22LSV way cheaper for example. Hard to go apples-to-apples.

I’ve bought 3 holdover boats and I wouldn’t buy a holdover for less than 30% off MSRP. Obviously a custom 2024 is an entirely different animal.

[dshack]

Just my 2 cents after we priced out holdover 2023s vs custom 2024s...the price difference can be pretty minimal if you wouldn't necessarily option the 2023 the way it is. Options like power tower, 18" wheels, wakeview seat, storage softgrip, PTM clamping racks, 2 sets rev 10s, thrusters, etc. were all items that we placed somewhat minimal value on but can really cause the price to drift up. You might actually be better off custom ordering exactly what you want at a slightly lower discount. 

Big caveat: This was in late Jan when I could get a custom order with a Mar/April spray date. If a custom order means you miss the summer, that changes the equation.

I've seen our local dealer do some serious deals on left over boats.  They've got a brand new, very well equipped 2023 26LSV for $225k.  Granted, it's ugly AF and has limited appeal, but noteworthy for the price.  They had a similar condition on a left over M240.  We don't see many of either of those models in our region, though.

[CaptainMorgan]

other factor i just realized is that a leftover M240 is a special case since it just got a major re-design to the M242, so not only is the OP boat a model-year older, but its also now a "generation" behind as well.

No, the gross white one with red vinyl.

Ah yeah. That one isn’t as bad imo lol. The red vinyl does kill it for me though. Both were custom orders a year ago that were backed out on last minute from what was told. At least the white one wasn’t ordered with the standard tower, no sport dash and complete butt ugly gel. But the interior is terrible. 
 

And also agree, unless you are on lake st Clair it really isn’t a boat for our area. I was at the novi show late Sunday and they said they sold the m242 they had there. I didn’t crawl around it though I spent too much time chasing the daughter.

The M242 was a nice boat.  Build quality on the other had was absolutely terrible.

Wow, those are both going to be difficult to sell.  Too bad they don't have an option to ship a boat back to the factory to have it reupholstered.  Those are bad!

Everything rattled when the stereo was on.  The trays above the engine were poorly fabricated and installed.  The fasteners didn't line up with the holes in the deck and tray.  They're cheap plastic bits with thumb screw type fasteners and most of them were poorly drilled.  Several were angled such that the tray wouldn't hold in place correctly.  Several gel coat defects as well.

That sucks, well I am gonna go look at one at our local dealer. I will keep ya posted if this one has the same issues.

Hopefully, it doesn't.  The one I looked at when I was at the Detroit show in January was much better than the one at our spring show in terms of quality.  Our dealer told us that Malibu was aware of the problems and was going to make them right.  They sold that boat at the show.
