2016 HotSpring/Caldera Pricing Quote

[MuddyIronman]

Hey Everyone,

Brand new to the forum so be gentle on me!  I've gotten some great advice from you all already to get me this far and i'm getting close to making a decision on a hot tub purchase.  I have narrowed my search down HotSpring & Caldera and found a local dealer in PA that only sells hot tubs (no pools so i've heard better service in summer), has a very nice showroom, in house service team, and very good product knowledge.  I def want a lounger and the tubs i'm most interested in are the Envoy, Flair, and Marino.  I could use some help on the pricing quote since many posts I've found here are several years old and don't give much baseline for a current quote.  Any feedback from dealers or someone that has actually bought one of these recently would be great.  I personally feel like there is a lot more wiggle room on these prices based on the Marino list price dropping 50% to the actual quote. Thanks in advance for any details you can provide.  Also i'm curious how much more would the Envoy NXT cost???

Actual Dealer Initial Quotes:

Envoy HotSpring no speakers- List price $15,334.89 Discounted Price $13,999 + $839.94 tax = $14,838.94
*Price includes cover, cover lift, steps, 9 month supply chemicals/test strips, electric sub panel, delivery and install and they said if I paid cash they'd include the ACE Salt water system free, retails for $1,799.  Speakers additional $1,200

Caldera Vacanza Marino with Speakers- List price $15,409.69 Discounted Price $7,749.00 + $464.94 tax = $8,213.94
*Price includes cover, cover lift, steps, 9 month supply chemicals/test strips, electric sub panel, delivery and install

Flair- I did not get a price for this one but I believe the sticker was about $10,500 in the showroom.

I have a feeling the list price on the Caldera was a typo on their part.

Yes that would make sense, but im more concerned with the actual quote vs list which is never real.  Could some dealers or buyers chime in with some assistance here.  I dont know of a Kelly Blue Book for hot tubs so kinda tough to gauge a good deal

That list price on the caldera is either a typo or just way off. The vacant a series is there entry level series that compare more to the hot spots. I think that price with stereo is about what people pay for them. The price on the hot springs seems a bit high compared to what I've had customers come in with quotes.

That's the case on some brands but not all. I'm a marquis dealer and there msrp aren't far off.from what we sell them for

I just bought my Flair here in the Northeast for $7500+tax, with everything but ACE, audio. $10,500 was the start MSRP. We really enjoy it, but didn't test either of your our models mentioned.

I bought a Caldera Geneva a little less than one year ago here in Pa. and it was $12k out the door set on my deck and included 1 year of supplies. If that is of any help.
