Title: Any new changes to 2013 Jacuzzi J-480?
Post by: limbery on February 06, 2013, 04:04:41 pm

considering buying a new one to get all the option choices I want as the dealer has just sold the floor model, and the red flag one he can get wouldn't have the colours and options we wanted, so might as well bite the bullet and get a new model...just wondering if there's any new changes on the newest model?

  Nothing has changed as far as I know, they have a new color called monaco.  Kind of different and looks ok.  Were bringing it in for a up and coming home show so will see how it goes..

I believe the stereo is a bit different as it is bluetooth ready.

I purchased a J480 the end of November fully expecting a 2012 model. I was surprised when a 2013 model showed up. There are only a few visible differences. One is a different radio (which I didn't get), the filtration system is now like the J495 and adds space enough to sit in front of (plus no bobbing assembly), I also noticed another lower intake that was not present on the 2012 model. I assume this is for efficiency.

Hope this helps.

We have just landed a 2013 and the only
difference we see is that the stereo has
been upgraded.  And it's quite cool.
