Questions about the 1996 Sea Ray 400 Express Cruiser

How much is a 1996 Sea Ray 400 Express Cruiser worth?

A 1996 Sea Ray 400 Express Cruiser is worth about £59,000 in today's asking prices, most likely between £42,000 and £67,500. Based on 34 comparable boats built between 1993 and 1999, 9 of them in 1996.

What do 1996 Sea Ray 400 Express Cruisers ask?

The 9 boats built in 1996 that we observed asked a median of £59,000 in today's prices. Each boat is counted once, at its latest asking price; these are asking prices, not sale prices.

Is a 1996 Sea Ray 400 Express Cruiser cheaper than a 1997?

Yes, usually by about 6.4%: each newer build year of this model asks that much more, all else equal. The gap between individual boats is often larger, because hours, VAT status and where the boat lies move the price too.

How much will it lose next year?

About £3,500, or 6.1%, if the market holds where it is. That rate is fitted on 43 boats across the whole run, not a forecast of the market.

Are these sold prices?

No. Every figure here is built from asking prices seen on public listings. Boats usually sell for less than they ask; we do not yet measure by how much, so we never print a sold price as ours.
