First of all, thanks to everyone for this forum. It has been a great help in our hot tub search.
We are located in PA and starting a backyard project with a patio and hot tub. Our target was a ~6 person model without a lounger and a budget of about $10,000. After finding this forum we looked at Jacuzzi, Caldera, Hot Springs, and Marquis. Our favorite was the HS Grandee, we really liked the style, the moto-massage, and the open seating with nothing in the middle of the tub for the kids to trip on as they move around. We did a wet test and were very happy. We have been quoted $12,100 plus tax for a 2017 model including the basic stuff (cover, lifter, steps, starting chemicals, and delivery). This is a savings off of list price of $2k for a sales event and $1k because it is a 2017. We have never purchased a hot tub before so I'm looking for some guidance on if this is a good deal or there is more room to move. It's more than we wanted to pay initially but we were not happy with the size or look of anything that we were getting prices of $10k or less.
Thanks!
