Hotspring Jetsetter

[msuspartan]

I live in Michigan and would like to purchase the Jetsetter spa. However, reading some reviews I found that the price should be around $4200. I am being quoted $4795 (my wife was quoted $4600), and I don't want to give this dealer my business. Does anyone know where to find pricing info for Hotspring spas? I also would welcome any additional information.

Pricing can vary. This is the best time of year to buy.

The Jetsetter is a good tub - small, but loaded.

Go for it.

That price does not sound that far out of line, what all is included?

Why exactly do you not like the dealer?

[msuspartan]

The only problem I have, is that they have given three different "best prices". The price includes 6 months worth of supplies.

There is nothing that we can do about that, hopefully your no where near Ann Arbor!

Does your price include delivery and a cover Keep going back so he knows your interested, maybe with flyers from a competitor in hand. If he doesn't budge in a week or two, bite the bullet, you will be glad you did.

All kidding aside, good luck in the Rose Bowl,. beat Texas, they are short on talent this year.

Well, I don't know if you were given these prices in writing, casual conversation or as you sat, getting a write-up. The only price that matters is the one they put on the contract. If you like the spa, go back ONCE, with plans to buy. Ask for the lowest price you were quoted, or ask for the lowest price you were quoted and then ask for some nice extra to be included or whatever. But don't waste their time and yours by just walking in and out asking for prices. We call those 'shoppers,' and you want to be a 'buyer.' That leads to being an 'owner,' and that's a very fun thing to be!!!

And if you do pay out $4500 instead of $4200 - that three hundred bucks will go up in steam with the first 'Ahhhh ' you utter as you climb into your new tub while others are still out there shopping.

I know you got the impression this spa should be $4200, but I don't sell it that low even at the year-end blowout. Sit down with your checkbook in your hand (I actually do mean this, BTW) and tell them, "I will write the check right now if you will do it at $4500 and include that HotSpring robe over there (or whatever they have that strikes your fancy)."

And be sure to check if the low price was offered on a floor model: this is the time of year when many dealers are getting ready to change to the new spas.

Anything below $5,000 for the Jetsetter is a great price.  Look at the age of the post for $4,200.  I would venture a guess that it is over a year old, probably older.

We sell the Jetsetter for $6100 with 1 accessory.  It sounds like you're getting a heckuva deal on any of those prices.

Too many Chris's on this board.  I’m confused.

Chris H,

Since you were here first, I will change my name to Cornbread.  I hope this helps cut down on the confusion.

Cute!   (That was meant for me, by the way!)

I would buy a jetsetter in a moment, but I bought the Vanguard!  HotSpring is a great tub!

Just curious, but what other brands did you look at or wet test?  Have you wet tested the Jetsetter?  

[iggythewetcat]

I bought a jetsetter a couple of months ago and paid $5000 with the ozonator (which I suggest you get). I was quoted $4600 with out it. That was my first haggle price and I just accepted it. I’d rather not shave off every nickel and have the guy give me dirty looks every time I go in his store. If you have specific questions about the unit feel free to write me.

Thank you for the information. I am one of those honest midwest types who also sells for a living. I don't make my customers beg for better pricing and I don't expect others to make me. However, if this is how the market works, I can play the game. It really isn't a pricing issue to me. It is an honesty issue.

As a side note, will the 110 be able to keep up with a Michigan winter?
