Generally I think buying a floor model is a good way to save money but you're not saving any money in this situation, you're getting a stereo included with the spa for your trouble which is not nearly worth it IMO. Easy one for me, I'd go new.
TdiDave:
Thanks for the input. i think i will pass on the floor model. The price the dealer has offered seems very fair (no need to beat them up on the price). I can wait the few weeks for a fresh one to come in. Have to get some electric pulled in the meantime.

Free stereo! This is the jbl system with flash memory, usb,cd,aux, and a remote that controls jets,lights and radio. Same warranty on the tub. As long as it dosent have big dents and scratches i would choose the free radio floor model.

Its not really a free stereo. If that same floor model spa didn't have the stereo/speakers in it he'd probably spend $600-$1000 less for it, that becomes the treu price of the stereo system.
Same warranty as the tub? I doubt that very much, they're usally only 1 year, for good reason.
Kmill:
No, same warranty ON the tub meaning the tubs warranty starts from the day of purchase by the customer. The warranty would start at the same time on the floor model as it would on the " factory fresh" model. I was comparing the situation at hand, being that the floor model in this instance DOES have a stereo compared to the one ordered that does not for the same price thereby leading me to reason that the the radio is free. If the customer turned around and sold his tub in six months wich one could he get the most money for?
