  1. VAT Rate here is 17.5%. Mark 2550 : Hey , hows about we trade places, you can arrive here as a poor homeless refugee and victim of the Iraq War, and I could could seek political asylum in USA because of my fears in UK for having spoken my mind and and trying to unstable the loony left running who run the show here ! Our respective governemnts will then ensure we get everything free for ever and let us live happily after. And best news of all is I get to buy a Spa at the right price not double lol
  2. Hi Stuart We are based over in Essex to the East of London. Never heard of the LA Spas in this area, are you happy with the product ? Pound has gained almost 10% on the dollar this year so theoretically your Spa would be £6,800 today, but i bet it is not when you ask the dealer ! What made you choose the LA Spa and what did you think of Sundance Spa as an alternative?
  3. THANKS FOR THE LAUGH..BUT Hillary is all yours thanks ! We just got over 10 years of Cherie Blair running our place via her lapdog husband. Next thing you will want us to take Bush aswell... No point in applying for the Spa on our Health Service either, as I hold full British Passport and the Government here only gives benefits to refugees and scroungers. The rest of us just pay the taxes to support the loony left socialists who sit in parliament. Take your point on the Boston Tea episode, but doubt we have enough people left here with the balls to start a revolution as the majority of such people have upped sticks and left for Australia, New Zealand etc, where they look after its citizens first and reward those who work & contribute.. ( ****, I may be the only one left soon, and my spa could soon cost $50,000 with taxes and must be made available to all unemplyed within a 5 mile radius..) Help, how do I get a green card ???
  4. The prices I listed ere all in US Dollars for ease of comparisons, and I converted from UK Pounds at 2.05 to the pound. All prices INCLUDED VAT, and were for a Spa to be delivered and installed to existing water / electrical connections and on a base we provide. They include steps, cover and chemical pack. RRP = Recomended Retail price ( similar to MRP = Manufacturers Recomended Price) but only a fool would pay either of those rates. Interested to see that you hear GULFCOAST Spas are going under ? I would be interested to know anymore info on this as they are my nearest dealer and seemed ok guys. one last questions folks, I saw a web site called www.poolandsparatings.com which gave a chart of about 30 manufacturers and a table of opinions on qualiy etc. Is this a genuine independant site or sponsored by a selection of suppliers? Thanks .
  5. I have made another posting here asking recomendations on manufacturers between, Sundance, Hotspring, Gulf Coast and Masterspas, as they all have dealerships near our home town, here in the United Kingdom and would welcome expert opinions.. We need to look at value very carefully, as well as after sales care and spares etc, as here in the Uk we get ripped off on prices big time. As a guide, have a look at these: Hotspring Grande 2007 RRP $ 26500, best sale price from dealer = $ 18595 Sundance Optima RRP $24600 best sale price ( a used ex demo model in store..) = $16000 Gulf Coast LX11000 RRP RRP $24600. best sale price new = $ 15,000 As you can see, we get a lot less for our bucks here, and as such need to be 100% certain what we are buying, so any serious pro advice would be welcomed.
  6. Can you tell me why you think the gulf coast or masterspa are not as good? Locally the Sundance would be at a significantly better cost than the Hotspring who are significantly more expensive than competitors here in UK. I would therefore say the Sundance is a more likley purchase, but, I would like to understand what the downside is of a GulfCoast or Masterpa is for comparison purposes. As a guide, here in UK the Hot Spring Grandee2007 has a RRP of £ 12995, which at current exchange rate of 2-05 = US $ 26630-00 yes twenty six thousand dollars !!!!!! although the dealers will sell stock down to US$ 18,000 dollars on specials. Whereas best buy would be a Gulf Coast LX11000 which would still be US $ 16,000 here in the UK. You can see we are getting ripped off big time here, and as such I need to do the sums very well before making a choice .
  7. I am about to buy our first ever Spa here in the UK where prices are unfortunately a lot more expensive than you guys in USA.. I would prefer a large seat only system, with at least 2 pumps.. plus a LED light system and ozonator. I am not too worried regarding any sound system. My main concerns are that it is well insulated so as to minimise running costs on heating, and that the shell is strong and durable as a few of the likely users are not exactly size zero models.. Locally we have dealers who offer the following brands : Hotsprings, Sundance, Gulfcoast, Aegean = (Master Spas / Down East ?) As the best Spas are all USA made I want to find the manufacturer with best reliability as obtaining spare parts in future may be an issue for us here in the UK. Thanks...
