So Fred and Chrisi was your price before tax and adds, or was that out the door pricing?

Scott  :-?


Scott,  $10,500 was with the adds but before tax.

Chrisi

Anyone hear of LeisureBay? Any ideas on quality of these spas? Yea or Nea?

Thanks so much for the patience!!

If you're looking for a quality spa to compare to the Artesian and Jacuzzi I'd check these out and see who is local to your area:

Ok guys, maybe one more question???  If you were to buy a used spa from someone what should one look for and how old would you go? There is a 2002 Sweetwater for sale near me but Im  just not sure  AAARGH! This is so hard! If I could just go get what I want when I want it!

Thanks so much for your help!  I may go wet test a Bullfrog on Monday. I told the dealer to fire up the grill and we would stay for the day! LOL   ;D

Th #1 thing when buying a used spa is you MUST be able to see it in operation. Don't ever by into the old story of "it works great, I just had to move it last week to make room but I assure you it was OK when I moved it".

Thanks so much! I figured that would be number 1.  One has water and one doesnt so that may make the difference.

Full of water and running is key - dry cement all around is too. If they 'just hosed down the patio' before you arrived, come back when it's dry as a bone. Same goes for any moisture in the motor compartment.

Be sure the tub is at temperature - and check that all systems work. Listen for noisy motors on jet pumps and circulation pumps.

Headrest pillows can be a pain to replace - especially on off brand tubs. If they claim that the pillows can be purchased and replaced easily, give them the opportunity to prove it.
