Is buying used even a consideration for a first tub? I understand the importance of having the support of a dealer when buying new, but saving money is also appealing. What’s the life span of a hot tub? How much would the price cut have to be to entertain the idea? I was looking at an artesian from a dealer going out of business but it sold before We could make a decision, the only other local dealer sells hot springs. Found a bull frog a7l for sale used, its 4 years old and seems to have all the bells and whistles, as of now they are asking $6000. The tub at the hot springs dealer that i looked at the most was a pulse, he said it’s actually used but for only 3 months and the owners want to upgrade to the grande, he said he can get me full warranty on it like it was new, prices at $8250.
