Put deposit on an OPTIMA with stereo!

[sobe]

My total cost not including taxes came to $9800

This includes cover mate 3, ozinator, 36" wood steps, chemicals,sunglow led lights and stereo with snc and remote.

Did I pay too much or is that about right as there is only one Sundance dealer in North Jersey. ??? ???

Sobe -

I have been quoted 7450 (without taxes) for the same package with an additional filter, drink holder, and SunScents.  My quote does not include a stereo though.

Is the stereo worth 2350 (9800 - 7450)?  I am not sure.  But I think there is still some room for negotiation for you.

D & C

Sobe,

I just put a deposit down this week on the optima with the same as you are receiving except for the stereo.
After some negotiation I ended up paying $7300 including tax

I forgot to mention that the Cameo and Optima are the same price.  I am negotiating on a Cameo.

Sounds like i paid too much, has any  one bought the optima with the stereo and the optional remote with the snc built in?

My offer was for a 2004 Optima, CD ozone, LED lights, cover, cover assiter, basic steps, starter chemicals and 3 micro filter replacements for $8100 plus tax delivered and set up.  The stereo is an additional $900.  I will not pay that much for a stereo, although it is nice and is a good selling point.    

Still looking at the J'Premium 385, a little bigger (not needed) but lacks the foot dome jets that I really like.  Waterfall effect seems like it would be a real mood setter.

I'm in NC and I paid $7900 last week for a 2004 Optima.  Includes: durasteps, cd ozone, cover, chems, setup/delivery, 7% sales tax.

We were looking at the stereo option in our Optima but it was an additional $1300 (with their new remote control) $800 for the stereo and $500 for the remote because it controled the entire spa and stereo.  We got the stereo and love it but decided against the remote.

Did you consider the Jacuzzi J375 which HAS the foot jets in it? Mine was $6,500 with the stereo, ozone, synthetic, etc.

I did try the J'Prem with the foot dome, and liked it a lot.  To me the optima felt a little more roomy, and at 6'4" the room is a factor.  I know the J is only I think 8" shorter on the short side, but it felt smaller to me.  The J 365?? was the first model I tested.  In the end, they are similar in many ways.  The optima felt a bit stronger water flow, and I like the whirlpool jets.  

I will say though that both have the filter in the side, a great feature as I don't like the corner filters as they take away a corner seat.
