We are set on purchasing a Cal Spas A857B hot tub. The Watson's dealer in Indianapolis lowered his price from $7,999 to $7,000. I'd like to know if this is a good deal, as it has been very tough to compare prices with hot tubs.

Answer
Unfortunately, there is really no way to tell how good a deal you have.
A lot of the cost of a hot tub or spa comes from the installation, so you want to make sure that you buy from an authorized dealer. So, I did a search for you, looking for authorized Cal Spa dealers, and, guess what? Watson's is the only one anywhere near Indianapolis. I was going to suggest that you get prices from other dealers, but you obviously can't do that.
In your situation, the only way you can judge the price is to look at other brands of spas. I'd walk in blind, tell them that you are looking at hot tubs (at $7000, you are looking for high-end models), and ask what they can offer. Even if you are set on the Cal Spa, it helps to see what else is being sold. If another brand with more-or-less comparable features and quality is a lot less, then Watson's probably has some negotiating room.
I did something similar recently when we bought a new garage door. The door we liked best was $1800. Home Depot was half that, but their door was not nearly as good. Then we got a bid from another place for an equivalent door at $1500. We went back to the place we liked, and they lowered their price to compete.
That's what you should try. Of course, if the other dealers are all in the same price range, then you are getting a fair price, and you can go ahead and order the Cal Spa with confidence.
I hope this helps. Good luck!!

Answer
I have a Cal Spa. It is under warranty and has been broken now for nearly 9 months. And, yes, the initial damage was covered by the warranty (there is now collateral damage caused by the hot tub being non-functioning as well). They have not been able to repair it and the refuse to refund or replace it so we are now having to take them to court. Please read the numerous similar stories on ripoffreport.com before you consider buying anything from them.
