I just found out today that the reason the dealer is selling their Coleman hot tubs at the price they are (471 series w/cover, lift, extra filter and 1 year spa chemicals for $6200.00) is because they are dropping the line all together. According to the dealer, Coleman has been a very good brand for them, however, as was pointed out earlier, their turn around time is averaging between 8-12 weeks. He pretty much said that it is impossible to stay in the hot tub market when it takes 2-3 months to receive their products. My concern has now turned to service. Although they assure me they will continue to service their Coleman products, past practice has taught me different. Now I am not so sure we would not be better off to spend the extra $$ and go with the Caldera or Catilina where I am comfortable service issues would not be a potential problem. What are your alls thoughts?
Thanks again,
Gary
