Title: Buyers Remorse
Post by: drober30 on July 30, 2005, 10:46:56 pm
Me and a Mike’s hard lemonade just got out of my 2005 Vanguard and wow was that refreshing.

I'll tell ya... $9000 for a Tub, $8500 for a Gazebo, $1500 in Concrete, $700 Electrical and $500 in Furniture and Accessories and not once have I had an ounce of buyer’s remorse! ;D

Hey Drober... $9k for the Vanguard?  Did that include everything?  (If I may be so bold to ask..)  I am having mine delivered on Friday, and I'm just wondering what kind of deal (decent or bad) I got...

drober,

I couldn't agree more!

My Deck/Tub/Screen Room project is costing me a lot also! Had the house upgraded to 200 Amp service along with using composite decking, plastic railings and all the "extras".

But it's great soaking and I'm glad I am able to do it!

Drober...we got a price of $7995 on the Envoy which is a little bigger than the Vanguard, more jets, etc. and that included everything.

I don’t know which one has a higher MSRP but I got

HS Cover cradle
Steps
HS Fresh water III ozonator (not a generic or off brand)
Chemicals

And the price included tax and delivery.

I know I received the best possible price for my area. Anything less than what I paid I consider an unbelievable deal!

Concrete...........140.00
Coleman 461.........5700.00
Spa Room..........600.00
Electrical............200.00


Being able to listen to the neighbor children fight over who gets to sit in the hot tub with me.......PRICELESS!

I'm looking at the quote and he gave us a quote on the Vanguard of $7595 and the Sovereign HP $6995  

Cover
Delivery, install
Start up chemicals
everfresh ws sys (don't know what this is?)
cover cradle

There were two different type cover lifts and he said we could chose either one.  

I'm still waiting on my insurance to give me an answer as to what they will allow.  We will then start the looking process over and HS is high on the list.

MSR on the Envoy is $9395, Vanguard $8995, Sovereign HP $8395.  Don't know if this is everwhere but these are the prices in Orlando.

Cappykat - those Orlando prices are a lot better than any here in Ohio!  I paid the same for a 2004 display Vanguard....

$7.6 for the vanguard? Damn. that's good. Ozinator installed too? Steps?  Here in MA, 2 months agoI was told the Vanguard would run me $8,400.

HAAA!!  I have become so "educated" on hot tubs that I went to an Artesian dealer this past weekend in Jax and I knew more than he did about hot tubs.  All because of this forum!!

I asked him about the construction and all he could tell me was foam.  I said is it a steel frame or pressure treated frame...he said "foam".  

Those may be some great prices on the HS, but for every dealer out there offering great prices and a good deal there's another trying to make a killing.

Cappy,

That is a GREAT price on the Vanguard!  I spent 7600 on my 2003!!!

Just some perspective!  Actually, it is very close to the 2 year annivesary of the actual purchase!  The 2 year anniversary of the delivery, well...that isn't until next month!  Long boring story!

Good luck!

I got my 05 Envoy in Akron Ohio for 8400.00 plus tax 9000 otd. Includes, HS everfresh ozone, HS cover lift (twin cyl. one) , chems, steps (wood HS brand used in the showroom display),  breaker box,  delivery and steup. no stereo. The Canton Ohio dealer was a little less but we liked the dealer in Akron better and that dealer was a bit closer

I live in Jacksonville too. Bought an HS Vanguard in April. Paid 7195 this included delivery, setup, chemicals, cover lifter, steps and ozinator. Couldn't be happier and the dealer is great.

I ended up paying $8300 after tax for my 05 Vanguard here in Northern VA.  It inlcuded the Tub and Cover, delivery, cover lifter (not the cover cradle, the other HS one), Ozone, The everfresh chems, and Tri-X filters. No Steps.    Sounds like it was a reasonable deal.  Also sounds like some folks here got really great deals.....
