Tubber McGee Posted September 30, 2010 Report Share Posted September 30, 2010 Been coming to this site for over a year - learned alot and finally decided on purchasing a Hot Spring Tub. I was set on the sovereign, but did not want to ever have buyers remorse. After many conversations and many nights reading forums - I decided that I can not go wrong with a Vanguard. Been dealing with my dealer for over a year and went in today to tell him my thoughts. He had previously gave me prices on the Vanguard - so I went into to work him on the price. I walk through the door BOOM BAM POW - he tells me if I buy today - he will meet my price - I wrote a check on spot! I guess the Hot Tubs are like Cars - They have them interest free from the dealer for 60 or 90 days - after that - they write a check. Think the 90 days were close to being up on this baby! So..I am the new owner of a Hot Springs Vanguard - Espresso/Pearl - upgraded steps - upgraded lift assist - ACE salt water system - Free delivery - start up chemicals! Nervous, but excited as these things are not cheap! Thanks to all the dedicated people on the site - without your help - I'd be sitting in a $3500 plastic tub from Sams's Club. Delivery is one week from today - can't wait! Anyone know where I can find "NO TOPS ALLOWED" sign! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

quantumchromodynamics Posted October 1, 2010 Report Share Posted October 1, 2010 Part of the reason you got a good deal is probably because you are now much more knowledgeable than the average person. That makes a huge difference in anything you buy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hotsprung Posted October 1, 2010 Report Share Posted October 1, 2010 Excellent. The same happened to me with Hotspring. Been chatting with the deal for 8/9mths. I explained what I wanted and what I was willing to pay and told him to call me when he wanted to do the deal. 6 weeks later, he called, we did the deal. Love it!

spatech (the unreal one) Posted October 1, 2010 Report Share Posted October 1, 2010 Part of the reason you got a good deal is probably because you are now much more knowledgeable than the average person. That makes a huge difference in anything you buy. BINGO, being prepared with inforamtion is the best way to go in! Even if they don't take your firm offer at least it gives you information as to were you stand. Go in prepared to make a firm yet polite offer and see what happens. Worse case is they say no and if so usually they will counter back to you. Sometimes they even say "yes". Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
footie Posted October 1, 2010 Report Share Posted October 1, 2010 I can't wait from those excellence photos.....not of the tub because I've seen countless numbers of HotSpring tubs but of the topless babies your sign will attract. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spawn Posted October 1, 2010 Report Share Posted October 1, 2010 Congrats Tubber McGee - You just bought an excellent tub and it sounds like you got a good deal as well. As for a "No Tops Allowed" sign, you don't really need one. As "Captain" of the hot tub it is your honor - duty actually - to personally remove the the tops of those who may enter. It is for their own safety, really. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PoolSpaGuy30 Posted October 2, 2010 Report Share Posted October 2, 2010 congrats you got yourself a nice tub...Vanguards and Grandees are hot sellers for me at the moment, people seem to gravitate towards the open seating and dual motos, pearl/esp. is also my fav. combo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
