Checking out a 1998 Z202 Red w/5.0 , 1 owner , boathouse kept , gelcoat and hull in excellent shape , interior like new , all electronics work , other than wonky compass , they are asking $13,900 Canadian , close to Toronto , He already said he was a little flexable , what would a good first offer be/ I thought I would start off at $11,000 , sound right, no trailer either, thanks for your input , saw a lot of these for sale in states for this price but they had tower and trailer.

Hmmm....boats are always more $$ north of the border but this one does look nice. Not having a trailer hurts a bit (approximately another $2k for a trailer) but its a tough time of year to negotiate price in your favour. I assume the owner has all the maintenance records etc? and will allow a water test before finalizing the deal? If you can get it for $11 to $11.5k you would have a fairly priced boat and very nice boat.
