Decisions, decisions...
« on: May 28, 2018, 08:56:02 am »
I finally convinced my husband to get a hot tub which was the hard part ha ha! Now we’re narrowing down on brands! We like bullfrog (A8) and looked at the Hot Springs yesterday and liked those but havent narrowed it to one yet . We’re going to look at a place today that has Marquis and Caldera. Any reccomendations on which of these 4 brands is better and why? We will wet test eventually. My other question is how much wiggle room in prices, we can pay cash to get a better price but the tubs we love so far like the A8 are around 14,500without negotating.

  All 4 you chose are top notch choices.  You plan on wet testing, if not you should.

That was about what we spent on our Hotsprings spa.  We did get a discount, and they gave us a break on certain parts of the purchase.  But like a new car, you lose some value driving it off the lot.

But we didn't buy it to sell it used... It's a keeper!

Definitely wet test, and make sure whoever is least interested participates in the wet test.  We had the option to buy the floor model at a discount, but we opted for brand new.

So we decided we really like the Marquis V94 and put down a fully refundable deposit dependent on a wet test. They are going to have one in later this week and if we like it we are going to buy the brand new floor model. The price is 9499 with  premium light package, spafrog, ozonator and microfilm. Good price?

Very good price. I’m at that price before microsilk which is a option that would normally be between 1500-2000 extra

Congrats but don't skip the wet test. All 4 brands you mentioned are top notch but the wet test should always be the deal maker and what tests well for 1 person/couple won't necessarily test well for another.
