I'm not necessarily against Nordic being basic if it is a quality hot tub built to last. I really care more about quality and built to last more than I care about fancy bells and whistles and extra jets.

Guy has offered to sell me the D1 Serenade with cover, cover lifter, chemicals, delivery, installation, and "spa school" for $6495 if I pay cash. Is that a reasonable deal?

Don't overlook Costco's offerings.

If you want a cheap tub with no service.

That's a pretty good deal for what D1's sell for if I recall.  It's D1's entry level though and you should be able to get a Bullfrog R5L for that same price.    That's my big complaint on D1.  They're overpriced.  Good product, but just too expensive.  The R5L is Bullfrog's mid tier and would be my personal choice of the 2.

I mentioned to a coworker that I am looking and he gave me the contact information for a friend of his that sells Cal Spas, Coast Spas, and Dimension 1 Spas.  Are any of these brands worth looking into if I can get the friend of a friend discount?  I did some quick research and found that Cal Spas has a bad reputation.  I didn't find much information on Coast Spas, and didn't even look for Dimension 1 Spas, I just decided to ask on here.  Are any of those 3 brands decent?  Or should I stick with Nordic or Bullfrog?  I couldn't find anything negative about Nordic or Bullfrog.

Thanks for your time in advance.

Cal wouldn't make the top 10 of most any spa pro. I wonder if the new D1 is equally viable as they used to be now that they may be more like the red headed step child of a Jacuzzi brand that doesn't get nearly the good press here that it used to. I just don't hear much about them anymore.

If you are in Dallas area you should have access to almost every major spa manufacturer (Arctic, Artesian, Bullfrog, Caldera, Hot Spring, Marquis...) so you have many options but if you've narrowed it down to Nordic (fine for an entry level) and Bullfrog (solid choice certainly) then either should do fine for what you are looking for but skip Cal.
