Title: Just bought a 2006 Vanguard!!!
Post by: cburk0677 on December 16, 2006, 03:43:30 pm
Hey all just wanted to let you know that my wife and I just bought a 2006 Vanguard. Stopped by today to see when they are closing out the 2006 models. The manager said they only had 2 left of the vanguard in the color scheme we wanted. We are located in Indianapolis.

Here is what we bought:

2006 Vanguard
Coastal Grey Outside
Sterling Marble Interior
Matching Everwood Steps
Cover with Covermate Lifter
Startup Chemicals
Delivery and Setup

Paid $7700.00 before tax so $8162.00 in total.  I thought this was a pretty fair price. We are having our hotsprings dealer hold our spa at the warehouse until the end of May when our patio will be completed. I hate waiting that long but we need to get the patio built first!!

Anyways my wife and I are really excited about finally pulling the trigger on getting a hottub!

Shoooot...take delivery of it now. That spa is shimmable! Go out to HomeDepot and buy three six-by-six-by-eight foot pressure treated posts. Space 'em and Level 'em according to the HotSpring predelivery book. Spa can sit right on top of 'em. We do it all the time! Maybe I'm causing trouble..I'll say no more.

Congratulations!

We had ours delivered and built the patio around it after the ground thawed.

Thanks for all the posts! Yes I agree it is nuts to wait until May to get our hottub delivered. However I don't want to hassle with moving it twice. I think we are going to stick with the orginal plan and wait until May or at least until our patio is installed. Another thing is that I need to get the electrician out to run the lines and I would rather wait until spring.

On a good note my Vanguard is going to cost us less than $4k out of pocket:) Thanks to the popularity of the nintendo wii I have made a killing on ebay reselling the things 8-) Who knows if I can get a hold of enough of them I may be able to pay for the whole tub with nothing out of pocket!
