joe cheech Posted June 7, 2019 Report Share Posted June 7, 2019 Hello everyone, wanted to run some numbers by the group to get a market check. I am located in the greater NY area and received two quotes from my Jacuzzi dealer. Here are the details: Quote 1 - Floor Display Model (never used in store) It's a J-480 with bluewave speaker system factory installed. Was told retail is $21,999 and quoted $16,000 for tub and cover. Quote 2 - brand new from factory It's a J-475 without bluewave. Was told retail is $20,999 and quoted a price of $17,499 for tub and cover. I realize this isn't quote apples to apples as the floor model has the bluewave installed and the factory model doesn't. I have a request in to the dealer for a price to upgrade the J-475 to Bluewave. Each quote includes delivery, setup, and starter chemicals. I'm planning on upgrading to the Oxidizer and was quoted $249.00. Smart Tub upgrade was quoted at $799. Would love some feedback from the group on the reasonableness of these quotes. My spouse prefers the J-480 but my instinct tells me that for a floor model I should be getting more than a $1,750 discount over the new model. Thanks everyone.

castletonia Posted June 8, 2019 Report Share Posted June 8, 2019 I don't know the New York market, but I know prices are higher than in the midwest, where I am. Floor model pricing can be tricky. As a dealer (Hot Spring, Caldera, Marquis) I have to take into consideration a few factors when selling a floor model. How long has it been on my showroom floor, are there any blemishes, and how motivated am I to sell a display model. If this is a floor model that has only been on display for days or a few weeks, I do not discount much if at all. If I have been sitting on the hot tub for months, then I discount more. $1,750, in my opinion, is a very fair discount for a display model (assuming its a 2019) that has never been filled.
