Jacuzzi J470 pricing??

[wewannahottub]

Hi all!!  Just received a call from the Jacuzzi dealer in our area and the 470 will be in tomorrow and ready for wet testing on Sunday!!

So, I know many of you just bought 480's at a reasonable price and they are similiar to the 470 but no lounger.  We are excited!!

So, since we are looking for bling, we were wondering what a ballpark figure we could expect to see with all the extras, lights/stereo/cover lift/steps/etc..  I know I could recheck other posts---seems around 10-12k is average.

Any thoughts out there?? :-/

Thanks!  Expect the full report soon!!

Chrisi,

We were quoted 10k and it's a while back in our search so I'm not positive but I believe that included the stereo and no lift.  Because at that dealer we were told that one had to order the stereo and that's were we got the price from.  As much room as we found out there is in these things it seems to me like I wouldn't pay anything over 9K with a lift included.  The stereo is a HUGE markup in these units.  Hope this helps.

In His Peace,
Fred

How much of a mark up is "HUGE"?   What do you mean by "as much room in these things"? Are you refering to the mark up of the dealer? I'm just trying to understand what you meant.

Just ask for a quote with and without the stereo!!

I guess I define huge as MSRP on the J480 (without stereo) is 15,410 without any thing extra and I bought at 10,000 with cover, lift and steps.  And I probably left money on the table.

The stereo difference (again on the J480): MSRP w/out stereo is 15,410 and w/ stereo MRSP 17,270.  That's $1,860 for a stereo....

t.u.o. has a good point, get pricing with and without the stereo.  You might be able to put in a home theater and run outdoor speakers.

Thanks,
Fred

Thanks all!!

I did get a message from JJ about what to expect.  I know it varies from area to area and dealer to dealer.  I just like to get a ballpark.

As far as the stereo goes--We do have a great stereo (Pioneer Elite for you stereo buffs) and massive Cerwin Vega speakers, but we would have to do alot of drilling and wiring and would not be worth the time or trouble.  Not to mention, I wouldn't be able to use the remote.  

So, we really are interested in the stereo.

I'll check back wit' yinz guys later, gotta go to a late staff meeting and complain about the supervisors and staffing .  I have a great manager, though!!!

Go Penguins!!  (game 4 is on now!!!!!!!!!!)

With all the bling, stairs, lift cover, ozonator, and stereo I think I was at 11-12K.

So is the MSRP you mentioned a manufacturer MSRP or a dealer MSRP? Does Jacuzzi even have an MSRP list? Did you see it?

So if they were willing to sell it at 10G's (and no doubt they made SOME money), then at 15 G's+, they would be making $8000 +? I need to get back into the spa biz!  

For those of you still shopping around...

Do fall into these "MSRP" games. These are inflated prices (often made up by the dealer and NOT the manufacturer) to create perceived value. It's laziest way to do so...

If they really promote these "savings", ask to see a recent deal where they sold the spa at MSRP.

Oh...and GO OILERS! Nevermind...

Get the broom out Chrisi. Looks like a sweep! It would be nice to have ONE Canadian team left after the first round and I have a REALLY hard time cheering for Calgary...

The stereo is not a $2000 value.

I called Jacuzzi and got these prices (MSRP) directly from customer service and they are also posted at the dealer I'm buying from.  From there the dealer is free to put whatever retail price on them they want to (according to the customer service rep).

Hope this helps,
Fred

[In Canada eh]

Steve,

   40% of the players in the NHL are Canadian so I guess it really dosen't matter what team you root for

For the 480 I was told about $10.5K no stereo  and about 11.5K with stereo and that was with cover and some chemicals, maybe the lifter but not steps.  Still no 470 or 480 to try here only the 460 (which doesn't compare I hear)

Now that's more reasonable for the stereo and a good deal overall either way.

I got about the same quote as tailhooker.
