I'm interested in purchasing my first spa and saw this ad in the Houston edition of Craigslist.
"We are selling our 2005 Hot Spring Envoy hot tub. We paid over $9000 just two years ago. It has a champagne/pearl shell and a dark red oak outer shell. It comes with a cover cradle for removing the cover, ozonator for purifing the water, and a 32" step that matches the outer shell. There is nothing wrong with the hot tub. It is currently hot and full of water. We are starting to build an in-ground pool possibly this week and have decided to incorporate a hot tub with the pool. Of course the in ground hot tub will be of no comparison to the Hot Spring Tub."
Is $5000 a fair price? Is this a quality tub, especially for a new tub owner? Easy to maintain?
