Welcome to our forum.
Thank you, loosenup.Yet still no one has told me what the actual list price is. I've worked sales and never have seen so many dealers afraid of the prices before.I'm not looking for the worlds best deal. Just as a salesman needs to minimize his loses, I need maximize my savings. As the saying goes, "a piece of the pie is better than none".
Seems there is no readily available "list price" for spas. Different parts of the country seem to have different costs based on shipping to the dealer from the manufacturer as well as the probably the cost of doing business in one area versus another and a variety of other factors including how high the dealer thinks he can charge and make a sale. Not being critical of dealers mind you. That is just the nature of the retail business I suppose. Also, unlike cars, the true wholesale price of spas is not generally known to the public as far as I can tell so knowing what a "fair" price might be is a very difficult beast to track down.
My wife and I wet tested a Bengal. Although we liked it, the way it was priced bothered me. I don't know what they sell for just the DEAL I was offered was 6,000 cash + taxes. I would of done it for 5,550 tax incl. There is a home show the first week of Feb. They always have at least 3 different dealers there.I've looked at 2 other brands other than Hot Springs. I guess my question is was that a good price or I am I correct with my gut feeling I'm paying his rent?
