Sounds like a fair price for the tub. I think I would buy a new set of filters. i bought a 02 grandee last november. I only paid 1,000 for it. But it was empty sitting in the driveway. This was my second used tub so I new I could get it running for less than a grand. Mine needed a cover, heater, and new filters. It has been running fine ever since and we love it. Good luck and happpy soaking.
