No I won't buy a Jacuzzi w/o looking or wet testing.  Gotta tell you, though, my hubby just got home and he is LOVIN' the Limelight!!!!!!!!! ;D  I am going to go for now and call our local dealer and see what they have.  "I'll be back" ;)

thanx

High pressure sales tactics through the PM eh JJ?  ::) Naughty boy!

There's a few Jacuzzi people on borad here but they are certainly a top 5 company and product. If the price is right and fits you, you can't go too wrong with them. Kinda a big name and all... ;)

You might want to consider the new Limelight Flair from your Hot Spring dealer.  Check out the Limelight thread.

Has lights, leg jets, lounge, stereo option and should be a lot less than $10,000.


Keep in mind that their is multiple reason that spa is 5k and not 10k.  If its a 10k spa they would sell it for 10k.  3yr warranty being one.

Did he tell you that the Limelight was "an overpriced hunk of plastic"?

If you can get one for $5K...get it!  They won't last long at that price!

My Tabi boots that I wear for wall climbing at Ninjitsu class funk up my toeses.  They look pretty bad, but it's mostly just dirt.

 I'm back!!  Just called our local HS dealer and they don't have the Limelight series in yet, but are getting some in soon.  She did tell me the limelight would have a different warranty.  What is the warranty?  That is something I take into consideration.  Is the warranty similar to the Tiger River series??

BTW, JJ didn't say anything about a "hunk of plastic" :D  Sorry JJ, I guess I busted you!!

Well, I guess I'll see what happens.

3 years parts and labor.

By the way, I posted the less than $10,000 comment.  I did not say they are $5000.  Where did that come from?

Are people getting a little testy?

Im think I saw you post earlier that you sold the one you got in. How much?

The dude traded in his 1984 HotSpring Sovereign and we gave him about a $500 discount.  He also got a discount as a repeat buyer.  He also got a discount for being 2 days younger than me and for having a daughter that looked like a celebrity.  He then gave me $500 to try and get me not to charge him tax, but I gave it back because that was not ethical and leads to Apocalyptic-inducing behavior amongst the heathern elements.  When it was all said and done, he gave me $25 because, as he put it, he "liked the cut of my jib", but I couldn't accept that gratuity on the basis of honor, so we just left it at that.  I was off yesterday, so we did this all over the phone, so I really have no idea at this point as there was a third party that acted on my behalf during some parts of the negotiations.  I'd say less than $8K but more than $6, or somewhere thereabouts.  He did decide to pay the tax, and I guess it was included.  But it weren't no lousy $5!

I hope this helps.

No sir, for making salt by reversing the polarity on the saltwater systems now in use.  I saw Scotty do it on Star Trek.

Salt will be like gold and I'll be like the Baron de David Lee Rothschild.

PLEASE tell me JJ didn't try to sell you a spa through the backdoor! ;D

You're out of his territory!

Have any other new forum members been approached this way?  I always thought this was kinda frowned upon.
