For those of you who purchased a new nitro, were you able to negotiate better pricing than the website listed pricing? I've seen the no haggle pricing, just wondering if there's room to save a couple thousand?

I've never run into a Nitro dealer that would haggle with the national-advertised price on a new Nitro. I've bought 3 and the price was the price each time, though I ordered them as well. I suspect the same will be true for in-stock Nitro boats as well given their no haggle pricing, unless the in-stock ones have a "reduced" price due to being a left over, etc., but I don't think they haggle on price that I am aware of.
No haggling, hence the pricing set as is. I was able to save a few grand however buying a 2017 as the 2018s were starting to only be produced and be put on the floor.
2017 Nitro Z18 - Mercury ProXS 175 - 24P Fury - Elite 9 TI2 - Fortrex
I ordered a 2018 Z19 Pro Package in December and picking up tomorrow. The price on site is plus dealer prep & freight. I went to four different dealers to get pricing. Boat price was set but could negotiate on dealer prep and freight. The dealer I ordered from cut the prep and freight considerably and also gave me a new custom cover. You will be surprised the difference between dealers and what they are willing to do to get your business.
I agree with the above threads on dealers not negotiating on price. However, I live in TN and have about 5 or 6 Tracker / Bass Pro dealers around me. I found a dealer who had a demo boat (33 hrs on outboard) that was also a model year older. I bought a 2016 Z20 Pro Package for around $10k off of MSRP and Bass Pro was running a promotion for a $2k gift card for that model year. I still got full warranties on everything as well. On a side note, I would recommend that you get any accessories at the time of purchase as they go up quite a bit after the fact. Case in point, I didn’t buy a second console at time of purchase as it would have been ~$900 now it’s over $1500!
Make sure you get a good trade in value, and they can do some stuff with pricing on dealer installed accessories that are not ordered through the factory. Any set up ready to go boat is SOL

I'd co-sign the recommendations on looking for a 'Hold Over'. When I was 'in the market' I started looking at Tritons because that is what I had and then e-mailed a dealer and She had a deal there was no way I could pass up. It turned out to be another brand but I saved a ton of dough
