Centuryx3 Posted February 5, 2017 Posted February 5, 2017 I intend to purchase a Heritage H535 in the next 2 months. (I've been saving for some time). I am within driving distance of a dealer, and will likely purchase there. Can anyone help me determine what kind of discount to seek over the asking price on a new H535? I've seen a new one configured as I'd like with an advertised price of $1900.FWIW, I am interested in a plain top.
TalismanRich Posted February 5, 2017 Posted February 5, 2017 From the prices listed at Wolfe's Gbase page, $1900 is a pretty good price. They have several listed there priced from $1900 to about $2500. That should give you some idea for working with your local dealer.
FredZepp Posted February 5, 2017 Posted February 5, 2017 It looks like the MAP ( Minimum Advertised Price ) for a 2017 plain top H535 is $2,099 . The MAP price for a flame top H535 is $2,471... ( List price $3,530 minus 30% ) Of course custom features will change those.. Here is a thread that details pricing.. http://www.heritageownersclub.com/forums/topic/31642-heritage-2017-prices/
Centuryx3 Posted February 5, 2017 Author Posted February 5, 2017 What percentage of the MAP should I be prepared to pay for a 2016 H535? This is a cash transaction.
Spectrum13 Posted February 5, 2017 Posted February 5, 2017 $1900 is a great street price for a 535 especially if you like the color and all. If it looks right, you play it and it feels right and sounds right take it home.
DetroitBlues Posted February 5, 2017 Posted February 5, 2017 I can tell you I payed a heck of a lot more for my custom 535 than what you're looking at. $1900 is a great deal considering used are now advertised around $1400-$1600. Do keep in mind, no case I bet for $1900.
HANGAR18 Posted February 5, 2017 Posted February 5, 2017 MSRP on a normal H535 is $3530.00. I would expect to see a "Sale Price" on the hang tag of $2647.00 If you are a really polite and outstanding customer, you might sweettalk the dealer into giving you a 10% discount which would bring the price down to $2382.50. Try to get one for less than that and he is likely to get pissed off because you are trying to kick him in the balls and should tell you to go shop somewhere else.
Vanschoyck Posted February 6, 2017 Posted February 6, 2017 At that price point (1900) I wouldn't be that worried about getting a whole lot off, but more about if I liked the guitar. Much better to leave a couple bucks on the table than to get a "good deal" on something that ultimately doesn't work for you.
TalismanRich Posted February 6, 2017 Posted February 6, 2017 The nice thing about getting one from his local dealer would be that he could check it out before buying it. He should know if the neck feel is right for him before buying. If its not to his liking, he will have options.
