Hi,
We have not started yet, as we're still working on which PB/pool to use so this may be the wrong forum, but I have a question: We're down to two PBs, each offering nearly the same pool design, features, and amenities (we're negotiating a 16 x 40 fiberglass pool from a Viking dealer and a Trilogy dealer) and each offer is nearly identical in price. As a frame of reference, both proposals are in the $44k realm, but one vendor has already offered an end of season discount to get his price down to the $44k realm, and the other has only offered a free "cascade" which I'm not to sure I want.
Do you negotiate on price or do you negotiate on free/upgraded features, or do you not negotiate and accept their proposal?
TIA
Dan
