Hello Hottubbuyer. What you paid for your spa is beside the point now, isn't it? I am positive the dealer wont give you back any money. I am wondering where you live to have a $600 delivery fee? It must be somewhere far from the dealer. Regardless, what does matter is - are you happy with it? Does it melt away your stress? Does it make you feel good? I'm sure it's a terriffic spa and worth every penny.  :D Enjoy!

I DON'T WANT TO GET MONEY BACK.  I WAS JUST CURIOUS, I WAS TOLD I SHOULD HAVE PAID AROUND 8500, SO THE NEXT TIME I GO HOT TUB SHOPPING, I'LL BE MORE PREPARED. THANKS

Which should be in about 10 years  ;D     You should be good to go for a long time with your Vanguard.  I was quoted $8600 a couple months ago for the Vanguard, which included delivery, but as already stated, you're beyond the point of wondering if you paid a good price.  Just enjoy the tub, it's suppose to release stress, not create it.  
People suffer one of two pains in life:  the pain of discipline, or the pain of regret

We paid about 9800 for a Grandee about a month ago, so the price you paid doesn't sound too far from the mark (at least for the suburbs of Washington DC).  I have talked with some people who paid more, and some who paid less.  I think the real key is if you are satisified with the tub.  After you add on all the variables for installation, steps, cover, lifter, electrical, and the rest I think you will find that a few percent difference in the tub is not a big deal, especially given that the HS should last for years.  We found more difference in the quotes for electrical hookup than anything else.

Our Vanguard we paid around $8,900 (March-06) and we got them to throw in footsteps and the upgraded top (one with the locking mechanism).  Delivery was included (we live 25 miles from dealer) and also one free move should we decided to move from our home in the first 2 years.    Its hard to compare prices with others unless you live in the same general area.  Hope all is well with your Vanguard.  So far ours has been working very well for us.
