Well it's a Cal, lower middle of the road quality to start. If he paid 8900 he got ripped off. So lets say it was worth 4500-5000 new. I would say if you offered him 2000-2500 now your in good shape if it is 3 years old.

Hot tub warranties are 1st owner only and do not transfer, as to MSRP, some brands over inflate it more than others, $8,900 seems high for a Cal brand tub in this size range, but this does vary from market to market and that price might include add ons, delivery fees, tax, etc.

If your uncle would call in any warranty issues then you should be good there. But I would agree that even tho its not very old...Its still a Calspa and $2K-2,500 is max value on a used retail market (for a used cal spa). That's a real fair price for both parties I would say...Your uncle obviously could care less about the spa and you are his family...your not stealing it from him and he's not giving it away either.

We sell Cal spa and that tub is at least 5 years old. If not older.

The tub is in good shape. Just a little dirty from not being used other than a few times when new. And has sat for 4 years with minimal maintenance. They said it was like 8900$ new.
Has stereo and color changing  led lights

It's three years old and sat for four years?
I would just ask your uncle for a copy of the receipt / warranty info.  It should have the model number, year of manufacture, etc.
How does it run? 
Good luck on your purchase.

Don't be afraid to make a "smart offer" to your uncle. If he's offended he can hold out for more, but I bet he won't. Unless it's 7 years old then I would go much lower? More like 1000-1500 If it runs and looks good. We have conflicting age information.

  I think so as well, my guess would be around 5 or 6 years old..   3000 for me would be pushing it, the fact that it's not being used that much if ever for the most part.  He would probably be happy with 1000 to1500 and will either say no way or yes..

If he just provides you with the information on his bill of sale, someone here should be able to provide you with a fair market price.   Why can't he provide this to you? If I was selling something i would provixe all the information that I had.  -Just asking.
