Looking at a very clean Jacuzzi 320 from local Jacuzzi dealer. No blems or faults; perfect tapered cover with lifter, and year warranty. Total deal $3,600 w delivery and set up. Anyone have a 320? Is the price about right? Thanks from Sunny San Antonio, Texas!

I know little/nothing of that brand. What year is it,is it used/new etc? Why only a 1 year warranty?
WHY NOT has a Jacuzzi,maybe he can shed some light,in your direction.

gblum1,
I have a '06 J-345. It's the 320(325)'s big brother. I've had it since October of '06 and have had nothing but positive experiences. The 300 series are very good tubs especially for the money.
The 325 uses the same control packs and filtration/circulation method as the J-345. My water is always clear and my panel has fought the elements of winter great so far. It's also a 240v tub standard. When refilling you get about 6-7 degrees an hour with the heater (That's good). My cost of operation for my 345 is less the $23 a month in the peak of winter. They are very well insulated tubs to say the least.
I paid $6095 + tax for my 345 last year. My dealer prices their 300 series in $500-$600 increments. So a new 325 should go for around $5K. You probably have a little wiggle room at $3600 for that '03.
I hope this helps.
Don't hesitate asking q's, I'd be happy to answer any you have. :)

Another thing you might want to ask/find out is,how long has your dealer been in business. If/when it needs servicing,who will perform the task?
Lastly,get some freebies thrown into the deal I.E. extra filter/s Chems and maybe even a Taylor test kit.

Ask for 2 year warranty or 500 more off, and a new ozonator and pillows, Done deal. Thats a good price for that spa.
The reason they are probably only offering a 1 year warranty is because the 5 year warranty is almost up.
1 other thing to ask is if its a 110v convertable model or 220 only, the 110v will have a 2.0 hp motor vs a 2.5 in the 220 volt only one. Not a big deal but something to check into.
