9 April 2025 | 36 Degrees News
Dreaming of a New Beneteau? Considering an Upgrade?
Ready to step up to a brand-new Beneteau sailing yacht or powerboat? Exciting times! As New Zealand's authorised Beneteau dealers, the team at 36 Degrees Brokers is here to help make that dream a reality. A big part of the conversation for many buyers is what to do with their current boat, and exploring a trade-in is often a great place to start.
Here’s how we can work together when you're considering a new Beneteau.
Why Consider Trading In Your Boat for a New Beneteau?
- Ultimate Convenience: Trading in your boat directly with us streamlines the entire upgrade process. You bypass the time, effort, and complexities involved in selling your boat privately – no need to manage advertising, host viewings, handle negotiations, or deal with separate paperwork.
- Seamless Transition to Your Beneteau: A trade-in ensures a smooth and efficient switch. You can coordinate the handover perfectly with the delivery of your new Beneteau, avoiding managing two boats or being without one in between. Simply clear your personal items, hand over the keys, and embrace your new Beneteau adventure!
- Certainty in Your Deal: Agreeing on a trade-in value provides clarity and certainty, locking in the contribution of your current boat towards your exciting new purchase.
How Trading Towards a New Beneteau Could Work with 36 Degrees Brokers:
- Choose Your Perfect Beneteau: This is the fun part! Let's explore the stunning range of new Beneteau sail and power models together. As dedicated Beneteau dealers, we'll help you find the ideal yacht or boat, configured just the way you want it.
- Discuss Your Current Boat as a Potential Trade-In: As part of planning your new Beneteau purchase, we welcome the opportunity to discuss your current boat. Tell us about it – its make, model, age, and condition.
- Understanding Your Boat's Value: To determine a fair trade-in value, we'll need to assess your boat. This usually involves an inspection to understand its condition and features thoroughly. It helps us see how it fits within the market and our brokerage offerings. Presenting your boat clean and well-maintained always makes this process smoother.
- Clear Valuation: Following the assessment, we'll provide a transparent trade-in valuation towards your new Beneteau. We'll explain the value, keeping in mind that as the dealer accepting the trade, we absorb the costs and responsibilities of holding, marketing, and reselling the vessel.
- Understanding the Trade-In Valuation: If we determine a trade-in is feasible, we will provide a clear valuation for your current boat against the purchase of your new Beneteau. Remember, this value reflects that we, as the dealer, are taking on the costs and risks associated with owning, marketing, and reselling your boat (including storage, insurance, potential repairs, and sales timeframe). It will differ from a private sale asking price.
- Evaluating the Best Path Forward: We want you to be comfortable with your decision. We'll help you compare the benefits of the trade-in (convenience, speed, certainty) against the alternative of selling your boat through 36 Degrees Brokers.
