Welcome to our forum.
First time posting. First time buying spa. Welcome to the board. I hope you get all the info you are looking for, and buy the spa you want. I KNOW he CAN sell this for less and still make a profit. Actually, this sounds reasonable, but isn't. Unless you know what he pays for rent, staff, advertising, insurance, FUEL, gas and electric, phone, yellow pages, building maintenance, and so on, you can't possibly know if he is making a dime on this sale. The cost of my 7000 SF store/warehouse combo may be much more or much less per month than the guy down the street, or the guy in another city.Thanks for your thoughts.No charge...EZ
I am the one who purchased the sundance chelsea for 6250.. plus tax ,it came with everything including ozonator and delivery and set up,they started at 6700 I came down and settled at 6250.I was advised by a dealer I was getting a great deal,so I committed to the purchase.I still believe this excellent tub can be had for < 7000.My wife and kids love and it is built verywell. hang tough and check out other dealers,and yes my tub is a 2008 model!Regards marc
Thanks for all the replies. Some good points.Obviously, I have a CHOICE to buy or not. I just wanted to have a better understanding of his position not to go any lower and claim that I couldn't get a Sundance any cheaper because his territory is protected and he can set the Sundance price for this market even if there are other dealers selling them for less in other places.I have to assume buying from a dealer who will(can) service what he sells is pretty important. If he refuses to service his brand of tub unless he sold it to me then I am at the mercy of my local repair market to find someone else to service it. So, even if I pay less, it may be worth it in the long run to pay a premium to have buy it local from him. Even so, I think he needs to come down. So, I will have to convince him that I have other good choices other than Sundance and he may choose to be more flexible.Thanks!
