Looking at HS Vanguard. First time buyer need advice.
Black93fiveO:
Hi, I'm looking to purchase a hot tub in the near future and this will be my first one. So far I have visited one dealer. I found a Hot Spring Vanguard I really liked. He quoted me 14,500 plus tax for the Floor Model. It includes the cover, lift, steps, starting chemicals, subpanel, and delivery and placement. This is their 0% financing offer. They will sell the tub for 12,700 if I only do 18 month financing. Does this seem like a fair price for a floor model?
I will be going to look at bullfrog spas today. I am in south eastern Michigan. If anyone has any advice about the Vanguard or can recommend a comparable tub from another brand and any good dealers near me I would be very appreciative for the information.
Thanks

Is it a Vanguard NXT or Highlife Vanguard?
Black93fiveO:
Just the highlife vangard

Any idea how long it has been a floor model and is it empty or filled? There is a lot that can determine price (inventory, local market, whether the dealer is a servicing dealer or contracts out, hot tub only or also sells complimentary products, etc). That price is right in line with what I would special order the Vanguard at so, depending on condition of the floor model, etc, it may be a fair price or there could be more wiggle room.
As for other options, you can also consider the following brands: Arctic, Artesian, Bullfrog, Caldera, D1, Jacuzzi, Marquis, and Sundance. I also sell Caldera and could suggest the Niagara. Visit the websites of the above manufacturers and see who your local options are. The dealer can be almost as important as the brand, so research your dealer carefully too. They are the ones supporting you after the sale.

Thanks. He didnt want to go down any lower on the floor model but he is now offering a new tub for 13,400 plus tax. With 24 month financing. I had a chance to go out and look at Bullfrog spas today and my decision has become much harder now.
