I have been a lurker and a lookielou for the last five years. A couple of years ago we had the choice down to Sundance and Hot Springs. We liked the Sundance the most. We liked the look, feel, and layout of the Optima. Although we were not ready to "pull the trigger" we wanted to make our choice.
Some of you may remember the thread I started in reaction to the Sundance salesman. When I called him back and said we wanted tmake one more wet test he responded with, "What more do you need. You've already been in the tub. Are you going to buy or NOT!!"
In the immortal words of Bobby Deniro, "YOU talking to ME?"
Term responded with, "If I got 'em wet testing, I'm still in the game!!" Sage words
This week we are in a major backyard remodel and I mean MAJOR. Yesterday the concrete mason told me he would pour today. WHAT?? I needed to decide which tub so that he could run the conduit. WHAT?
We decided to return to the Hot Springs store because the salesman treated with the respect for the entire years of our search. We found the hot tub we were looking for that was not available several yaers ago. We never considered the Sundance because #1 customer service would have been a bust (something we later learned about that particular store) and #2 we found the hot tub of our dream.....
July 11, 2008 8:00 am delivery of a HoT Springs ARIA. We are very excited and the backyard looks AWESOME. before/after pics to follow July 11.
MORAL of the story: One never knows when that lookielou turns into a PLUNKER of hard cash.
