I’m currently a NE Ohio resident Youngstown Area. I have been looking for a hot tub/Spa for a few weeks now. I have a couple options in my area on what local retailers sell and I have gotten some prices on a few spas. I’m currently looking for a 6 seat with a lounge. I would like to know if these price’s are fair or I should negotiate alittle more. Any info would be greatly appreciated.
So the dealers around here are: Marquis/Caldera/Hotspring all the prices will be with delivery/setup/cover and stairs.
Caldera Palantino: 7500.00
Marquis Hollywood: 6998.00
Hotspot Tempo: 7500.00
I really like the Vector 21 series but I have yet to be quoted on that line. How far off would be a V94L be in cash price. Or ever a V84L any info on that would be great.
Thank you for taking the time and reading thanks.

Negotiate firmly yet politely. Once you get to the point that they won't go any lower then you know you're getting their best deal.
On the Marquis make sure you get the fully insulated option (crazy that its even an option on some, should be standard on all).

Only a option on elite model

The website shows full foam insulation as an option on Elite and Vector series.
It may matter MORE in some areas than others but in the end I don't care where you live, you should want your spa fully insulated.
The Wizard of Spas:
To take a much less important approach the question (as the other respondents hit the most important aspects already), I'd see what is actually spelled out in the delivery: is it drop-off? Or do they do a quick connect? Do they install steps and cover lift? Do they fill the spa, show you how to do everything, etc?
Then I'd compare steps and lifts as well.
Mind you, these are way, way, way less important to what has already been discussed. Just giving you a bit more to digest.

To be fair I would say there partial foam on standard celebrity is actually foamed better then what I have been seeing on newer full foamed Sundance and Jacuzzi tubs. At least the standard celebrity line has foam in it now. That was new for the 3rd quarter of 2019. Before that I wouldn’t even sell them

Thanks everyone so far with the responses. As for insulation both the tempo and Palatino would come with fibercore full blown in and the Hollywood is a half soft foam insulation. As for devlivery and setup they are all included for all three models. Here’s a curve ball I stoped in Akron yesterday and a dealer who has gotten rid of Caldera line offered me a wet floor model Utopia Niagara loaded bells and whistles that has been emptied in another location for 6,995.00 cash with stairs and cover delivered.But not installed. They are not going to be a dealers for Caldera anymore and any warranty would have to go through the manufacturer. I have a caldera dealer 15 miles from my house it’s how I got the quote on palatino. What do you guys think? It sounds like a good deal but also sounds like a headache in the long run..

Sounds almost to good to be true. What year was it made? See if you can get serial number and I can look it up to see exactly what you are getting. As for warrantee work you would be relying on Caldera to set up any warranty work with a third party. The dealer with palatino would be under no obligation to perform any warrantee work
