Hot Springs Vanguard NXT

[n0s4atu]

So we just ordered a Hot Springs Vanguard NXT, Tuscan Sun with a Mocha Cabinet.  In our area there aren't many hot tub places and the one we purchased from is a chain that is the only Hot Spring Dealer in the surrounding 3 states.  So it's hard to know how the pricing we got was, so if anyone has any knowledge of what the newest Vangaurd NXT with the ACE salt water system goes for, please chime in.
I made a mistake going in with the wife, as when she sees something she wants, I lose all ability to negotiate as she's practically signing papers before I can sit down. lol We also now have a hot tub that can cool. I didn't know this was a thing, but $3k later and it's on the invoice, because the wife doesn't want to be too hot on the hottest days of summer.

I’m not sure what Vanguards go for as I’m a Caldera Dealer but coolzone is pretty neat. Especially in warmer climates. Sounds like you got it pretty loaded so would expect it to be close to 17k-18k

Your dealer determines pricing.  I’m not at work right now to look at my price list, but I think I would be between $16-$17k

Thanks for the responses guys.  We were right at 14.5k with the ACE, but no entertainment sadly, but we did get the Cover Cradle 2 and the NXT steps thrown in. I guess that's something. lol   Oh and that's before the CoolZone chunk got added in which pushed us to about 19k out the door with tax and and an added concrete pad for the tub to sit on.

Oh and while I replied in another thread, I figure I'll ask here in case someone reads this and not the other person's thread.

Has anyone ever installed an UltraLift VisionLift on a Vanguard or any other Hot Springs tub and if so did it require additional bracing, etc? Pics are always welcome.
