I remember someone on this forum remarking that you could make a good deal buying a boat on the german market. As I am in the process of doing that, I was wondering if anyone could tell me how good a good deal is in relation to the asked price. Given that it is valued correctly by the broker, should I make an offer at 10% below the asked price? 20%? 50%? Where can I expect to finish? I know this is impossible to tell, but a rough idea would help me. (It was a long, long time since I last bought a boat and what's considered a"serious" bid in one business might not be considered serious in another...)

The boat is a blue water cruiser, fair condition, less than 5 years old and probably worth the asked price in the +200k range. There seems to be no other potential bidders and the seller is eager, but not forced, to sell.

Thanks in advace for your help!
