Welcome to our forum.
Hello, I have run across a hot tub that is for sale from someone in my family. It has only been used a couple of times and spent it whole life inside. It is a 2008 Hot Spot Mallorca with easy open cover, ozone, steps, chemicals etc. They want $3500 for it. My wife and I are thinking of getting it, but we want to know if it is a good deal or not. We were looking into getting one of those 80 jet hot tubs that you can find online for around $4500. The Mallorca has 28 jets. Is the difference in the number of jets a big deal? What do you guys think? Thank you or all of the info!
I have seen the tub filled and operational and we can come sit in it before we buy. The hot tub was bought from a local dealer for around $7000. They have already let me see all of the documentation that they have with the tub including every time the bought a filter. I am 100% sure that there is no problem with the hot tub and it is in showroom quality. What I really want to know is if Hot Spot is a good company, and if the Mallorca is quality built. If you take all the warranty issues out of it which is the better tub, what would you buy?
The price is now $3000 but that is as low as they can go. This includes the spa, cover, cover lifter, cover locks, steps, chemicals, extra filters, ozone, and anything in their house related to the spa. Does it sound like a better deal now? This will be the first spa that I have owned and hopefully last me for many years. I went to the dealer the other day and they have the hot spot relay on sale for the high $5000s. From what they told me the relay is the Mallorca replacement, and not much has changed (calf jets and more lights). I do not think that this price includes anything but the spa. Would you go with the used Mallorca that is in VERY good condition, or buy the new relay?
I am actually not too worried about warranties because I work on everything. I think that the difference in cost can buy a lot of parts. I guess what I am asking is there enough difference between the hot spot mallorca and the hot spot relay to justify the price gap.
