You want to now the dealers cost? Then shouldn't you also need to know all his expenses in order to determine what he needs to be selling it for in order to stay in business?

FYI, "dealer cost" on a car, or at least what the public is told, and for some reason believes, is a sham. There are hold backs and multiple incentives the manufacturers give dealers, making the final price they pay, frequently no where near what you think they paid. Seriously, do you think a car dealer can stay in business, having hundreds of cars in their possession,  on 100's of 1000's square foot lots, with fancy showrooms and such, making only a couple hundred $ on a car they sell?

I totally agree, the last car I bought they tried to tell me they were selling it at $100 over invoice as if I'm stupid enough to believe that fluffed up invoice number.

If you want to state the price you're quoted on a spa and ask consumers and dealers here how good that price sounds that's fine but when you start wanting to know what your dealer paid then eyes start rolling. As Doc says that number wouldn't mean anything anyway unless you did a compete audit of his business to see what all his costs are to know how that equates to what price you could expect in the first place.

Just counter the price you're given and see if the dealer budges. If he doesn't then you're probably where you need to be.

I think that is a good price and you should jump on it.  I think Jim is priced a little lower than most dealers would be on that model.  Our price is definitely higher, but we are including ozone, an upgraded starter kit, delivery and steps.  To the OP, that is a good deal.  I would feel good about getting that spa at that price.  Plus, it's an awesome little spa.  The exact one that I plan to purchase.
