I realize this isn't quite the same model, but maybe it helps.
I was quoted 16,999 for the Grandee NXT about 2 months ago. I had researched the price of this like crazy and this price I was quoted seemed absurdly high from what I've read. It included I guess the standard free stuff like cover, steps and delivery etc.
I had my eye on a few other hot tubs from other local dealers, and their prices were much better for the brands they were selling. I still haven't bought anything yet. Buyt for the hell of it, I asked for a price quote to that same dealer from before on the Grandee NXT, and 2 months later his price quote shot up another grand! Now he's offering it to me for 17,999!!!!
Needless to say, that guy won't be selling me a new hot tub for sure.
