Choosing between new CalSpa Avalon and Used Caldera Martinique?

My house is already wired for the Caldera 30/20 so it would save me 1500 and the tub is much cheaper. The dealer said the Martinique costs 15k new.

Is the Martinique 2016 or 2019? You have mentioned both years. 2019 for 7k is decent value, 2016 you should be able to do better on price
Faith1112:
The ad said 3 years old, but when I asked about the warranty he said 2016, so the 5 years was up.

You need to see the Martinique running. I would want to verify if can heat to 104, that both pumps run with no leaks and no unusual noise, that the circulation pump is running quietly and smoothly. What kind of shape is the cover in? Are all jets still working or will some need replacement? How about the headrests?
Because you don’t have a warranty, condition is everything. Condition and price will be related. Because of the current inventory situation, $7,500 could be reasonable if the condition is good. I would always try to negotiate because the worst they can say is no. Keep in mind the seller didn’t pay $15k back in 2016.
