Coleman 105

[Ripper]

Okay, I have been doing my homework and have settled on the coleman 105  as a possible choice for my first hot tub.  I choose for a myriad of reasons the top few being:  Fit, Brand, Local dealer.

The final tally is:
$5064.68  Includes start up chemicals, delivery, cover bulter, steps, tax.

Since prices are so hard to come by I am wondering if this is too much.  

This dealer also stocks Hotsprings and although they are NICE they are also too pricey.  Price is my only sticking point at this stage.  

Any comments would be helpful

Wet test!

I did, thats why I listed it as one of my first reasons for choosing.  It FIT! the 104 didn't as it had a curved lounger, and even though it was more in my price range I couldn't see myself all cramped up trying to relax

Sorry, I thought you meant fit your area.

The Coleman 105 is a great tub for the money. We just sold our last 2004 105 at a Home Show last weekend for $4675.00 plus tax.

That included delivery, set up, training, ozone, cover, and start up chems.

We had a deeper discount on it because it was an 04 and because this is one of two shows that we do every year, Coleman authorized an additional $200.00 off that series for our show special.

The best we could do on a 2005 105 without the extra Coleman rebate would be $5169.00 plus tax.

The 105 is a very dependable roomy 4 to 5 person spa with a nice size lounger that the tall and the small can fit into.

Hope this helps and let me know if I can answer any questions for you.

Very helpful.  Price is the stickler so your figures are appreciated.

Since you seem to know what's going on, this dealer has a 107 for 4199.00 (04).  Its more tub than I want or need, and I don't want to heat an extra 100gallons of water year round.  I figured i'd spend the money saved on operating costs.  
Is that a logical thought process?  (ie Too big; less up front cost by hundreds, but over time bigger operating costs.

Get the spa you like best, and of course within your price range.  You'll quickly forget the purchase price once you start enjoying the spa.  Unless you have that nagging "If only I'd have got the other one instead" thought popping into your head.
Though it does cost more to heat more water, once it's to temperature the extra cost is something I woulnd't even worry about.  Go with the best fit, in my opinion.

You would be getting a second pump with the 107 and the size is 88" x 88" the 105 is 83 x73

Don't let the thought of heating the extra 100 gallons be an issue. My tub is a 706 with three pumps and 400 gallons. I live in North Dakota and my tub is out in the open on the N.W. side of the house. My tub runs me between $25.00 to $30.00 a month in the most frigid weather.

I'm getting a 107 for my cabin so in a few months I'll have first hand knowlege of what it feels like. I've soaked in the 105 and liked the barrier free seating.
