Welcome to our forum.
Another option that was brought up in discussion is buying a used but dealer refurbished spa from them. They take trades (Hot Spring/Hot Spot/Limelight models only) and thoroughly go through them to resell. They currently have a 1998 model Hot Spring Sovereign (with moto-massage) that the dealer told me will be around $2800. That is a LOT more tub for the price that I can get new (and about half my budget) but the age of the tub scares me. Any thoughts or advice? Is that a fair price for a 13 year old (albeit rebuilt and fully dealer tested) tub? The offer a 90 day warranty on their rebuilds.THANKS for any input.
