MSRP vs. Invoice
stagehand:
Great feedback from everyone. Thank you. I feel now my strategy should be to not hammer price (well..just a little) but to pay a fair price and ask that the cover, cover-lifter, backup filter, delivery, chemicals and steps be included at no charge. I will try this strategy tomorrow. Again, thank you for the comprehensive information.

Mike...
Good luck to you and be sure to wet test when you decide the spa you want check around here for what seems to be the fair market value of the spa you are looking at....I think that anything within 500.00 of someone elses price would be fair as what part of the country you are in will vary the price some what and also it is a little diffulcult to always compare the excat deal item for item with someone else...but you should be able to get an idea if you are close to what most people are paying.....again enjoy and good luck.... :D

Done. I purchased a New Vita Hot Tub. Internet research puts them Top 5 in the world, Top 5 east coast, Top 10 west coast. 5 person spa MSRP $5,700, took advantage of $1,000 off aniverasry sale. Told dealer I would negotiate price or he could choose to include Tax, comp the delivery charge, comp the the cover, and include the cover lifter, got all the chemicals, and the steps. Also, received no charge back-up filters
Out the door $4,700. Naturally, I used the 2 other dealers in town as leverage. Thanks to the forum for helping me.

I am confused stagehand. YOu basically paid full retail on your spa! Why didnt you negotiate? You could have easily saved another 1000 or 2000. The 1000 rebate came from the manufacture not the dealer. The dealer still had ALOT of markup which you paid!

ok....needapsa go buy your spa and go home!!!!!!!!!!!! Stagehand is happy with his purchase and feels he paid a fair price that benefits both parties involved. at this rate you will NEVER own your coveted Sundance Optima.
