# RINKER PROUD
IT'S ABOUT TIME!
WAY TO GO KIM, STEVE, RINKER EMPLOYEES
OWNED 7 RINKERS, 5 BRAND NEW, TWO CRUISERS (2013 EC 310, 2014 EC 360)
SOOOOO PROUD!!!!!
AS THE MAG SAYS "RINKER IS BACK!"
2007 280 Rinker Express 6.2L B3
Every time I do a comparison, it ends up something like this: for the price of a Sea Ray, you could get a Rinker plus lifetime slip, fuel and maintenance. Or, you could get a Rinker that is 3 feet longer and has a lot more amenities. Go figure.
2005 Rinker 342
NADA average retail: $62K
MSRP in 2005: around $125K, adjusted for inflation is $154K
Rinker has retained 40% of its value
2005 Sea Ray 340
NADA average retail: $80K
MSRP in 2005: around $200K, adjusted for inflation is $246K
Sea Ray has retained only 32% of its value
(I guessed at the MSRPs. But even if I guessed wrong, my point is: a Rinker won't depreciate any faster than a Sea Ray. Also, in this example, the Sea Ray owner spent $166K on depreciation, while the Rinker owner only spent $92K.)
@69fastback - the QX 26 sells for around $60K.
.@LaRea, agreed
...and this is another big one.
Even if that Sea Ray owner had the cash to pay the price difference at point of sale, that's money tied-up that could be earning investment income.
However, if that money had to be borrowed - then the owner is losing investment income and worse yet is paying interest to service borrowed money.
It is often necessary to borrow money but if one can get a similar product for less money then the deal makes more financial sense.
Rinkers pay their owners back in MANY ways! Rinkers=smart investments, imo.
