I bought mine used. It's a 2012. There are no local Jeanneau dealers in Louisiana. Also it depends how you spec out the boat. Base Price is about $240k new but mine was loaded. It...

Re: Jeanneau 349 opinions? What are people saying?

If the deal on my 44DS hadn't gone through, I was looking at one of those. Could've gotten for about $200-210k. It truly is a buyers market right now!
