I have been quoted the following:

375 for 8100
365 for 7600
355 for 7000

Not including sales tax.

cover
chem
delivery

Are these prices good? high? low?

I appreciate your help!

We just bought a J365 yesterday (delivery on July 14) We paid $6500.29 including: 7% NC sales tax, cover, ozonator, step, chem, delivery/setup and 1 waterpillow for my youngest who was to short for some of the J365 seats. I had a quote 3wks ago of $6000 for the J345 incl all the above (tho J345 is not on your list).

Seem in line, if they all have the stereo option included. If not they are way high.

My quotes do not include the radio or sales tax.

It really does depend on the local dealer and the local market. What are they quoting for Sundance, Beachcomber, etc. in your area? If you knew this information and posted it, I think the experienced people in the spa industry might have be able to advise whether all the spas in your market are maybe priced a little higher than where they live? Hope you get the best deal you can for yourself, but more importantly, I hope you are happy with the hot tub you choose. Good Luck!

We were just quoted 7000 for the 375 today...

I would let your dealer know that you did some price comparison on this forum and that his prices seem high.
Ask him to show you why he charges as much as he does.

I paid 7100 for the 370 in November, including stairs, cover lifter and chems etc. I actually printed the prices from the reviews section when I was looking at the geneva utopia...it would have saved me about $200 but I went with the j-370..

I'm in Canada but converted to US Dollars I was quoted approx 6,300.00 This included:
Stairs
Start Up Chemicals
Delivery & Set Up
Hydrolic Lift n' Store
Cover
And Taxes which is 15% of the cost. If you want to do the converstion math it was $10,995.00 Canadian.

I would have to agree with jordy and RBoehme. Prices really can depend on your local area, what other brands are availible and the value added to those brandsd by the competing dealers. those prices seem a little high with out sales tax, but see what the other brands are at.

dpgtech... I noticed that you're a tech for Jacuzzi Premium, Coleman and others. I used to sell Beachcomber, HotSprings and Pacific and have been considering getting involved w/a Jacizzi Dealership, can you tell me how Jacuzzi compares. Based on what I've learned about hot tubs in the last 5 years in the business, it looks like a line that provides good value for the money?

I think Jacuzzi is a great tub. both for the features, warranty at good price points, and dealer support is excellent. their tech support is good, and parts turn around is much faster than Coleman. We sold coleman for a long time before we got the jacuzzi line. from a sales standpoint brand recognition is second to none. if one has never shopped for a tub, most people still recognize "Jacuzzi" The Jacuzzi's compared to hot springs, sundance, etc. Compete very well. Warranty is in line, the Abs Pan is also a good selling point to differentiate the tub. The tub is an excellent value for the price range. Jacuzzis from 4600-8200 and the del sol line under 4k. Colemans biggest problem is the "comfort collar" too limiting for many people. it is the main therapy seat in most models and a lot of people, especially taller, and broad shouldered men do not fit in them. The Jacuzzi's usually will fit the person who won't fit under the collar. we get a lot of sales simply from people not fitting in the main seat. Coleman's are built well and have an excellent warranty, but are just not comfortable. Good luck!

Have a 365 I had installed about 6 weeks ago - GREAT product. You numbers seem a little high. The biggest thing I found to watch for is the $500 difference from paying cash and the special financing that seems common in our area. By paying cash I was under the numbers you have including all accessories + a few more
including sales tax
