South Seas Spas 748L opinions

(1/2) > >>

SDOutdoorsman:
Looking to get our first hot tub, we live in northern South Dakota so it does get really cold. We are looking at a south seas 748L from a dealer that is going out of business. With that said one of their techs will still be doing service in our area if needed. They have the hot tub listed at $7900 with cover, cover lift, steps, and delivery. Is that a decent price? I have tried to look online and have not found much for prices or reviews on it.

The Wizard of Spas:
South Seas is a line from Artesian.  Great mid-level tub.  Only thing I didn't like was the sound of the pumps (loud) when I sold them a few years back, but someone elsewhere on this forum said that has been corrected.  Might want to see if you can hear it running. 

Other than that, I think - and this is me personally - that the price is somewhat high if the company is going out of business.  I'd try and get the warranty coverage from the tech in writing, or ask for a reduction in price as they will *never* have to come out of pocket on warranty.  Parts, labor, nothing.  That might not fly but I wouldn't spend that amount on a spa with zero warranty coverage (I believe that spa offers 3 years 100% parts and labor). I say that as at my facility, if a client is coming from out of our area and simply wants the spa and no warranty coverage, we will reduce the cost of the tub at a price most will jump at. 

May not be the same for everyone.  I hope this helps.  Good luck moving forward.

I agree with Wizard.  A company that is going out of business promising warranty work and service work is no different than a traveling salesperson promising service after the sale even though they are leaving the state...

It's empty.

Unless you have a legal contract... you have nothing.

I got a price last week on 748B for $6,999 includes steps, cover, cover lifter, and frog @ease.
