Title: LA Esteem
Post by: IL Parrothead on December 05, 2007, 02:57:51 pm
Saw a 3 y/o LA Spas Esteem for sale for $2495 obo.  Any opinions on spa or price?

I looked at the web site.  It looks like a nice spa.  Don't know much about the brand.  Looks like a steal.

If you happened to check out the thread I recently posted, I have just wet tested a ton of the major brands out there. As far as I know, I've sat in just about every tub that people here mentioned was worth taking a look at. When it was all said and done, I tried at least a dozen wet and twice as many dry....all looking for the one I liked the most.

I know I didn't test every possible brand out there, and I know opinions will vary....but to me, none of the brands I tested were as comfortable as the two different LA Spas hot tubs I sat in.  I just purchased the HEET, which as far as I can tell from the website is almost identical to the model you're looking at (except it has a cool down bench instead of one of the corner seats).

If you try it out and like the comfort (and perhaps find a local tech to verify the quality)....I'd definitely recommend jumping on that deal.

Thanks Josh.  The owner lives about an hour away and said he recently just drained and winterized the tub.  Offered to fill it or give me a guarantee that it will work.  I may drive up there and take a look at it.  Maybe we can agree on me giving him partial payment until I get it up and running.  We'll see.

I'll cross my fingers for you. After wet testing that brand, if I had been able to find a used one at that price in the area, I would have snapped it up in a heart beat. It was the best of several of my tests (some by a huge margin).
