I have an opportunity to purchase a 2014 Envoy Hot Spring Spa for $3,500 and that sounds rather pricey to me, but I do not know.
Should I or shouldn't I

Dorothy,
Sound a little high to me too...
But I am not a spa expert, so let's see what one has to say... Calling @RDspaguy

Used Spa's are still pricey. While it does sound a bit high for a 8 year old tub, it isn't all that much out of line in today's market.
Rule #1 - See if filled and operating. Make sure everything works. Make sure it doesn't leak.
Rule# 2 - Pay a pro to move it. Make sure you factor that into your purchase price.
Rule# 3 - See rule 1.

Looking them up, they were about $8500 new and would hit $10k with some options and tax. The story of this tub and my trust in the seller being honest about the story would be a huge part of my decision. Having a recent servicing claiming it was in good health would help my decision as well.
Do *not* buy a 10 year old tub expecting it to be trouble free for another 10 years. You could easily be out a couple thousand next year, or sooner. Even if its great today.

I just sold an older tub for more, but it was fully refurbished with lots of new parts. If it's a private owner, there's a good chance there's something wrong with it. Most people who get rid of spas neglect them first. So, with expected repair costs figured in, it's really not a terrible price if you can fix it yourself. If not, you might want to have it looked at by a pro before you buy. $100 now could save you alot of headaches later. Get somebody experienced with that brand to do it. And, of course,
Hot Springs can have very expensive problems. They are a well-built and long-lasting spa not prone to problems at 8 years old, but they are pricey to fix.
