Used motor prices vary a lot with the area of the country you are in. Best thing to do is some searching to see what they are going for in your area. You can also check with Nada. Outboard Motors Manufacturers, Used Outboard Motors Values, Outboard Motors Prices & Specs | NADAguides
Thanks Bill. I am a little surprised that it is as low as it is. The guy is asking about twice what NADA says the high retail price should be. Maybe that's the norm. The problem is that folks would think you are severely low balling them if you offer what NADA says it's worth. Should be an interesting negotiation.
Don't mind telling you, $1500
Might seem steep for your area, but not out of line for around here. Craig’s list and Facebook market place that’s about average for a clean later model 25. High to me cause I think that motor at that time went for around 2300. New.
You are right about original retail price, however, after much research this evening, I can see that many folks are asking about that figure for similar motors. Of coarse, something is only worth what someone else is willing to pay. I will probably make an offer, but for several hundred less. Who knows, he might say come get it!
I would have thought just the opposite. Why the difference? It is a long shaft motor.
around here the only thing you see a long shaft on is a pontoon boat or sailboat !!! not too many fishing boat have the size transom for a long shaft outboard !!!
My wife's uncle bought a similar year Mercury 25 as a project. I helped him on it but I was shocked at how much some of the fuel related parts cost. A Carb kit was close to $100 and I couldn't find the parts in the kit on an individual basis. The fuel pump rebuild kit was ridiculous as well. I think he gave up on that motor and parted it out since the lower was toast from the get go.
To your price question I agree that 1500 seems like the going rate on these around here. JMO, but I would get a 25hp Johnson/Evinrude of a similar year as they can be found for a few hundred cheaper and parts are readily available.
There's a guy here in N.C. that has 16. 15-9.9 hp Johnson's at $400.00 each 2002 yr. longshafts
I have a 01 25 Mercury and guy at the ramp here offered me $1800 so $1500 is not steep
