You got a ridiculous deal.  Are they going out of business or what?

Wow you got a real good deal. I googled that spa and haven't seen much pricing lately but saw a few posts in 2010 and that tub was selling for $6500

It was on display at the Ohio state fair BUT she said that there is a phone number that i will have to call to "activate" and "unlock" the new hot tub - it was never turned on or filled with water and it comes with 2 years parts and labor as well as 5 year standard warranty on other items. still had wrapping on around the shell but they had taken the pastic off the top to see into the hot tub.

They are still in business as well. I was alos told that Caldera is made by Hot Springs. I did not know that !

I will take pics as soon as i get it up and running !!

Sometimes that's what needs to be done. When my youngest son came of driving age I went out looking for an older used car for him and everything was crap. My wife and I decided to give him our older son's car which was my car and buy my oldest another car which was a certified pre owned ... got a great deal and didn't have to worry about things breaking down.

Beautiful! Congratulations!! You're going to enjoy that. I still think you got a better deal on the new one than a used one, even if some nice ones have come up. This way you have warranty and you're not risking inheriting someone else's problems.

Looks good but seems like they should have some insulation in that.  That's about one third of the tub with no insulation that I can see.

for a $5,300 price tag I'd say it's on par with everything else out their in that price range

Good point BullfrogSpasMN, I didn't see the price.  Thought it was one of the top of the line Calderas.

OP got a great deal.  That is a $7000 spa in my neck of the woods.
