Dealer changed price of a quote in 24 hours!
« on: June 14, 2014, 12:05:06 pm »
The dealer quoted me a price for a Hot Springs Jetsetter of $6,495.00, the next day he changed the price to $6, 895.00, he told me the manufacturer had a price increase. This makes me wonder about this dealer, what do you think?

That sounds very fishy to me. Dealers do get price increases, but we get more than 24 hours notice. If I was that dealer, and knew the price increase was coming, I would have told all customers well in advance to warn them of a price change effective on certain date. If you want that spa, I would guess the dealer would still sell it to you at the original price quoted. But, that does seem fishy and I could see why that would concern you.

Did he sell the floor model and now have to order a new one in?

This quote was not on a floor model, I am not sure what I should do?

Well I certainly wouldn't pay a penny more than the original quote, but if you can get it for the original price and are happy with it, I say go for it.
