 Why does Alpenglow structure its used sale this way?
Alpenglow needs the boats for rental through at least Labor Day to maximize income during the short rental season.
Can I buy used accessories now as well?
Alpenglow has so many assorted accessories, that it is too difficult to keep track of the small items that have deposits on them. All used accessories will be up for grabs starting Labor day weekend.
How are the prices figured out?
Alpenglow takes pride in having new rental/demo equipment each year. As such, our used prices are calculated on use, abuse, and frequency of rentals as well as replacement costs. One benefit of buying used this year is that due to all of the high water, a lot of people were forced to cancel their early rental reservations, so most boats were used significantly less than in years past. That means that when you buy a boat, it will be in great shape!
What if the boat I buy gets damaged during a rental before I take possession of it?
Occasionally, damage will occur to a rental boat in some form. We will take every precaution to minimize damage beyond normal wear and tear. When it happens, we have a policy of full disclosure giving you the final decision. We will either pro-rate the boat, or give a store credit towards something else. The choice is yours. No matter what the situation, we will do our best to make you happy!
What if I have a multi-day trip that I want to use my boat for?
Alpenglow needs to rent out the boat for money as much as possible in order to be profitable as a store and continue to be a specialty shop to service our clientele in the future. If you have a deposit on a given boat and want to use it for several days or longer, then we won't be able to make money. If the boat is not reserved for a day, then you can use it for free. If you need to reserve it for a trip, regular rental fees apply.
Can I apply my rental fee towards the purchase price of demo/rental equipment?
No. We price the demo/rental equipment as aggressively as we can. If you are looking to buy a new boat, we will apply up to two days of rental fee towards the purchase price of any regularly priced boat within a few weeks of the rental.
Is there any warranty on used boats?
Yes and no. Depending on the brand and boat, most manufacturers will honor the remainder of the factory warranty. Please inquire further on any given model. |
