Welcome to our forum.
I should have mentioned that the leak is "in the foam", so the dealer would take it back to the shop and repair it there, and then deliver it back to my backyard. Yeah, it's pricey, but that's they only option they offered me. They will not do the repair on site.Other than the leak, the tub is in good shape.If the dealer is selling used hot tubs that are somewhat comparable to mine for about $5,000, I wonder if I could expect them to buy it from me in a trade-in for about $2,500 or so. I guess part of it depends on how eager they are to make a new sale.

Best guess is by them saying it will be 2000 to fix it, either one they know you will say no it's not worth it, or two if you say yes they are not going to eat it on the job. Feel them out and talk to them what they will give you for it. 2500 doubtfull but its worth a try. The other route is find a local repair guy that might do it on site vs haul it to the shop.
But my salesman told me that full foam holds the plumbing in place so that it doesn't leak..........As much as some people would like to pretend that this isn't an issue......it is. $2000 to repair a leak!?!?!?
