bricktop Posted July 18, 2008 Report Share Posted July 18, 2008 I am a long time viewer of the sight and I am interested in buying a tub. I am having a disagreement with my wife regarding buying a used tub from a dealer.(a very well know dealer)In my opinion most people trade in there used tub for a new one because they have or are having trouble with it and it is easier to trade that tub in, then trying to sell it private.Why trade in something that works fine and spend more money on a new one. I am worried because you don't know how well it was maintained.Am I wrong for thinking this way?Your thoughts and experiences please.Cheers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A lot of people just upgrade to larger number of jets/features or downsize their spa. If you're buying new, a dealer is a good choice. We use to take trade-ins and we would go through the spa, run it and fix anything required. We would sell it with a 30 day guarantee as well. A new cover is often required as they only have a life span of a few years. I can't see a dealer just flipping a spa and selling a piece of crap as their name is still associated with the sale. If it's that bad, they wouldn't take it in trade. It can be like buying a used car. There's good deals out there, you just need to find something that suits you and your family and has value to you. Not a bad way to go for a lot of people and although you may not have the peace of mind of a warranty and some of the funky new features, it can be a great purchase if you know what to look for. The key...see it running and ask if you can wet test. Good luck, Steve Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
