I looked at/for used tubs for about a year before I came accross mine. D-1's seemed to go for the most $$$ of any of the brands used. But with that being said, I still think its a lot of money for a used tub. It may be what your market goes for, so it may be worth it. In SoCal, most tubs 2 yrs old or newer went for $4-5k and older than that were in the $2-4k. Also, if they were priced right, they were gone within a day or two. My brother found I think it was a year old Jacuzzi 345 that was priced low, like 4k, and offered the guy $2500. He took it. If you sound serious, and say hey, Ill put $250 cash down, and I've got a delivery crew who can be here Friday, will you take $5000 whatever you are comfortable at... they may just take it. It at least gives you negotiating room and you might be able to get it a lot less. A warranty is nice, but $2k is a lot of $$$ in warranty work. The dealer may have convinced the seller he can get him the $6900 or whatever it was at the store, so he may not want to negotiate, but just getting the cash in hand and not having to deal with it, might be worth it for him to take a little less for it. I'd just feel him out you really have nothing to lose, and could save a lot of $$.
