Welcome to our forum.
Have you wet tested this spa? More importantly, has your husband? Just because "it was designed by a chiropractor" (what a load of sales crock), doesn't mean it will be any better than anything else. Maax is generally a middle of the road spa...though, the pros consider things more like durability and fit and finish when judging quality. Comfort is purely a personal preference.
I agree with Tman. You would be much better off buying a new, quality tub. If this tub lasts you only two or three years, what will you do then? Service is not cheap and it would cost you to have the old tub removed. There are many good spa manufacturers. Check the threads here and you will get an idea of what is available. What ever your final decision, good luck!
What about a 3 yr old Marque Mirage? There is an older couple selling theirs. They are asking $3,000 but I'd probably offer them 2,000. Any advice on this tub?

Per year the Marquis will be about 1/10th the cost of that Maxx
