I need advice on a fair price in US dollars for a 2013
Jacuzzi J-480 with Blue Wave sound system.

My first quote was $15,144 with Bluewave stereo...

I know prices very from state to state, but I paid way less then $5000 less then your quote for a 2013 J-470 in NH. I didn't get the stereo tho.

For that price difference I'll ship it in.
What is the name and address of the place you got your J470?

You also have to take in the fact that you are looking at a J-480 with a Blue wave stereo vs a J-470 with out a stereo. Dealers have cost, it depends where he is at and what the over head is for that dealer. Also what are you getting that he did not, lift, steps what ever. Sure you can order in from where he is, pay shipping then deal with warranty if there is a problem. Who really knows if his is a 2013 vs a 2012 or an early 2013 floor model. Both are great spa's but talk to your dealer see what he can do for you before you fly off the handle!

Mine was a brand new 2013. I ordered it in Jan, and got it in Feb. It came with cover, lift, steps, set-up and starter kit. The 470 isn't much different then the 480 other then mine doesn't have a lounge and a few less jets, other then that, there basicly the same. The stereo would of cost me $800 more. But the price I paid and what he was quoted just shows me that some dealers want to make a killing on selling a few tubs, then make less selling a lot of tubs. IMHO Plus it shows there is a lot of mark up also.

Glad you know all about it. You know what the cost is or what dealers overhead is? I think the 15,000 is high as well, but I also think he should go in and talk to his dealer and see what they can work out..

No I don't know the overhead, but his price is still over 30% more. Plus Jacuzzi has a $1500 rebate, so his dealer was really asking over $16500, or he forgot to mention it.

It depends if the dealer is participating in the promo, you don't have to if you don't want to

I was told the rebate was $750 not $1500.
After tax the J-480 quote was around $16,250.
The after rebate makes it
$15,500 with tax.
I can't find the retail price and the dealer is not telling me despite
My repeated requests for the retail price.
The dealer told me the Bluewave retail is $1,250.

What state are you in?

Peckville · « **Reply #11 on:** May 19, 2013, 05:05:17 pm »

Pennsylvania

The dealer I got mine was from Mass, but don't think he would go that far.

He is pretty much giving you MSRP out of the book. If he's not going to budge I would walk!

For the price difference I can still pay less by offering you Mass. Dealer
$1000 for his troubles.
Do you know the list price for the j-480
Or for the J-470?
