Pedicure Chairs and Pedicure Spas Cater To Customers Bringing Them Back Time After Time

Are you looking to buy a quality used or refurbished hot tub? Ideally, you want to buy a used spa that will not give you problems. The ideal previously owned spa would be a refurbished model. Why buy a reconditioned, refurbished spa?

An ideal refurbished spa:

• Would be a common, brand name unit (for future purchase of replacement parts, filters, and supplies)
• Would go through a check list;
• Would be sanitized;
• Would have questionable parts replaced;
• Would come with a warranty;
• Would have a contact person for follow up concerns or issues.

What about used spas on Craigslist.com?

There are many spas on Craigslist.com right now. The prices are very attractive (some for only $500.00). But what people don't realize is that most are bad quality spas (brands such as Life Spa, Life Spring, Advance Spas, Lazy-boy Spas, Coleman, Warm Springs, etc.). You will buy the spa for $500.00 and think you got a great deal. But beware! Then comes the hidden expenses:

• $250 to get the spa delivered;
• You need a new cover ($350 for a cheap one);
• Pump seal is leaking ($150);
• All the pillows need to be replaced (at least $125);
• Usually one or more of the jets are shot ($250 or more to replace several bad hot tub jets).

You now have over $1,900 in that unit that was a great deal for $500.00- and that is if everything else works-which is normally not the case. Remember: there is a reason people are giving them away, which leads to the next concern:

Why are they selling their used spa?

• Are they moving?
• Are the payments too much to handle?
• Are they upgrading to a new hot tub?
• Has the hot tub been a headache?

There is a reason people are giving away their used spas in private sales-they bought a cheap spa, it has been a headache, and now they want it gone. You will hardly ever find a brand name spa such as Master Spa, Hot Spring Spa, Sundance Spa, Jacuzzi, Marquis, or Dimension One on Craigslist.com for under $2,000 in good condition. If you do, buy it!

The ideal situation for a previously owned purchase would be that the previous owner was unable to make the payments, and it was repossessed. This is usually the best case scenario to be happy with your pre-owned purchase.
