Welcome to our forum.
I was called by an energetic Sundance Dealer from St Paul who is offering a great package on a Sundance Optima for $10,399 with an extreme MN cover, hydraulic lift, chemicals, and stairs. What is a better tub for the money, the Optima, or the Hotsprings Vanguard? They are both about the same price.Thanks for any guidance.
Lastly, don't put too much stock in the "price is only good through Sunday" routine. That's a pressure tactic, and if the dealer really wants to make the sale, he'll happily take your money on Monday or Tuesday or Wednesday... Etc.
I was taught of "The shop keepers law" It implies that it is un ethical to waste a merchants time, unless you are confidant you are going to purchase from them. I feel bad going into numerous spa dealers knowing that I am only going to buy one spa. The Hot spring dealer i saw yesterday, was telling me that Marquis is inferior construction as they don't use treated wood under the panels, He also showed me a 5 year old Marquis just out of warranty that was having problems that he took on trade. It had mold, and He went on about how Marquis was a good spa until the warranty runs out. In fairness, he knew I just came from a positive experience with the Marquis store, and was leaning that way.I am leaning toward the Sundance optima, for perceived value. The dealer is about 70 miles away from my house, do you think they will honor warranty work?The Sundance dealer is giving me until Saturday to take his offer.
