I found one locally (used) that is approx 4-5 years old. What kind of price should this be? I am told everything works and it is in good shape with a good cover.

I have read that most people think that the Arctic is a good quality spa.

Also, any comments on the Leisure Bay hot tubs? I found one locally (used again) and have not read much on them.

I am looking used as I am not convinced my wife will use it as much as she thinks so I think short term I will get a used one and try it for a year or so and if she really enjoys it I can always go and get a new one.

Any advise is appreciated.

The Cub is a 4/5 person spa with a lounger and relatively open seating and has long been one of our more popular models. The Signature was at the time the best-equipped Cub model. Nonetheless, if you have a chance to see the unit running and try it out I hope you will do so. At the least, sit in it dry. I imagine that the warranty has run out, and the factory does not transfer warranty (though the dealer who sold it might do so in exchange for your continued business).

I don't have access to old price lists but I would estimate the MSRP at between $8K and $9K at that time. Sorry, I can't give you a reasonable estimate of the price of used spas in your area.

Happy hot tubbing
