Welcome to our forum.
I really don't know who he is. He has local ads up on craigslist with some refurbished tubs and a moving/setup service for hot tubs. I've only talked to him by text and he says very little, so I won't know more until I see it tomorrow. All he says is that it's a "beautiful island tub" with many jets which works perfectly. I asked him manufacture and age and he didn't answer. He wants $3500 which includes moving and setup.
I really hate to put a damper on this whole thing. If it where me in this situation first of all he clearly didn't answer your question in regards who the manufacture and the age on the spa. That to me is a red flag. In the metro area where I live we have had several craigslist robberies and some people have lost their life.I wanted to stay out of this and say nothing... If I were you I would go to a dealership and purchase a spa. Since your daughter is reliant on you as a parent. I wouldn't take the risk. This sounds like fear mongering BS I know but around here we have had so many people being robbed of their hard earned money that on the news they now tell everyone to make their transactions in front of the police station.I apologize for this post, but I couldn't just keep quiet on this.
That’s what I am at for my last 2017 Rhythm which is the same price as the Relay. I normally am at $6,799 including Lift ‘N Glide, Polymer Step, local delivery and water care chemicals.
It never hurts to ask. The worst he can do is say no.I have Bullfrog, Master Spas, Marquis, Jacuzzi & Viking, Maax, Vita, Artesian, QCA, and Sundance all within a 30-mile radius of me, so being in a competitive market, I choose to include lift and steps will all hot tubs. Chemicals should be included in my opinion no matter what.
Okay, got an offer today from our local dealer for a Hot Springs Hot Spot Relay floor model. No optional accessories. $5999. Does this sound decent? Six-person, one lounge, 2 pumps.
Sooooo.... my question is, with the high price point on this line, why isn't a circulation pump standard? And why isn't an ozone system standard? Do I want to add those on? The lack of both of those is the main reason I decided against the Hot Spot Relay. Sorry for all the questions. I really appreciate your knowledge and responses.
