  1. Thanks for the help. I finally got a hold of the seller, the hot tub is at his vacation home - it actually came with the home he's the second owner- which is why he uses it so rarely; but he says he keeps it full of water year round. I have an appointment to look at it Monday morning. If anyone has any last minute advice on price or inspection it would be appreciated. I'll keep you updated. Wish me luck!
  2. Hi, I posted a couple weeks back and you guys were a lot of help; thank you. I was hoping you could help me again. I found a 2006 Sundance Altamar for sale asking $3,200, they say it has only been used 6 times which actually sounds like a bad thing to me. I started to research this hot tub and have found a few posts about problems with Sundance Spas leaking and being extremely hard and expensive to fix when they do. I was thinking this might be Sundances competitors trying to make them look bad, or the negative reviews might be more prevalent because people complain louder than they praise. Most these complaints are on epinions.com here is a specific link the post even has pictures http://www.epinions.com/review/Sundance_Ca...-3A2667D7-prod3. I wanted to ask the experts. Is this really so common I need to be concerned about it? I noticed some of the post are older have they improved the process to prevent leaks since then? If its not leaking when I inspect it, what are the chances it will start leaking within the next couple of years? Does anyone have a good guide, or checklist on what problems to look for when inspecting a used spa? Also is $3,200 a good buy for this spa? As I don't have a lot of money I was going to offer $2,500 and hope for the best
  3. I forgot to mention that it was a 7 man hot tub, I believe they paid $4,900 new so following your advice I resent an offer for $2,200 if we pick it up, and $2,500 if they can deliver it to my house. I also linked to this post so the sellers can understand where I'm coming from. Thanks for the taking so much time to help! It's amazing how much there is to know about spa's!
  4. Thanks so much for the advice everyone! Looks like I'll keep searching.
  5. http://www.spadepot.com/spacyclopedia/used-hot-tubs.htm any good?
  6. Hi everyone, After a long search I think I finally found a good spa to buy but this is a huge purchase for me and I wanted to make sure I wasn't making a mistake. I've heard mixed reviews about infinity and know they went out of business, a lot of people say they are a decent brand for the price. Here are the specs: 2008 infinity hot tub originally purchased at costco, now purchasing from private party. 64 jets 2 pumps waterfall ozonator cd player lighting 2 air control valves $2,800 Should i buy if everything looks, sounds, and works good when i check it out? I have a used spa buying check list i found on the net to check everything out... I've been looking at used spas now for months, I have a $3,000 dollar budget and I'm having a really tough time finding a good used bang for my buck hot. So any recommendations on brands/ models would be very helpful. Thanks in advance!
