HotSpot Tobago
« on: March 12, 2007, 09:23:41 am »
Good morning everyone!.
A co-worker just approached me and asked if I'd be interested in buying their tub.
It's a HotSpot Tobago. She's not sure but, she thinks it's 3-4 years old. No ozone. No problems with it whatsoever.
Can any of you fine HotSpring dealers give me a ballpark figure on what it might be worth? If you need more info, let me know.
Thanks in advance for your time and effort.

If it is in good shape, you should be able to pick this up in the neighborhood of $1200.00.  

Brand new a Tobago runs anywhere from 3K to 4K.

Tobagos are nice, basic tubs.  Nothing fancy, but will work great.

You REALLY want to see ANY used spa running before you buy. If it's in good shape I'd offer a little less but you really want to pay attention to what kind of shape it's in because a $1200 spa that runs relatively fine for another 5 years is a hell of a lot better than an $800 spa that becomes your yard's largest bird bath.

Thanks to Zep, Vanguard, Hottubdan & Spatech for the replies/input.
They're asking $900.00.
She said I could come over anytime and try it.

With my luck I'll buy it and pull a Drewstar and win the contest for the Aria.

It may be basic but $900 for a working 4 yr old spa that you can test out (or see working) seems like a pretty good deal to me.
