Get The Facts: Craigslist Hot Tubs For Sale
March 14/2020
Looking to get into a hot tub while on a budget? You may think that Craiglist may be the best way to go, however purchasing a hot tub is more than just that – it’s about making an investment into your stress free future. Here’s why Craiglist might be a mistake when trying to locate your next budget friendly hot tub and also the additional ways you can save and have peace of mind!
Out with the old:
To start off, there is usually a reason why someone is pawning an older hot tub on Craigslist, especially at that AMAZING price you’ve seen. The reasons can be many including; leaks, unable to access parts for unit, bankrupt manufacture, too expensive of a repair, previous customer not even sure what’s wrong with it, cracked shell, dysfunctional hot tub support, among many other things. Even when they mention “Hot tub is in working condition” doesn’t necessarily mean everything is peachy under the hood!
The unknown costs:
The advertised price doesn’t usually include the following:
- moving the hot tub from their location to yours – hot tubs can weigh upwards of 1000 lbs dry! (estimated costs: $200-$800)
- new filters which need to be replaced when switching owners (estimated cost depending on number of filters: $40-$250)
- new cover and lift system (estimated cost: $850)
- complete chemical kit to maintain the spa properly (estimated cost: $250)
- GFCI and wiring in order to hook up the unit at your location (estimated costs: $300 - $1200)
The better way to buy:
Although Craiglist can be good for some bargains, you will RARELY ever find a true great bargain for a hot tub on this site.
