Getting Quotes on FG Pool

[2Hipp]

The Tri-County (Company mentioned in the first post of this thread) pool company came out yesterday to give us a quote. Their package is pretty comprehinsive but a little on the expensive side.

They are already willing to knock off $5k for starting contruction this fall so I have to weigh the credit against the monthly payments I would be making while not using the pool druing the winter. If they are willing to knock the $5k right off the bat do you think it's possible to get more out of them?

The company gave us ton of customers to talk to and a couple in my neighberhood.

All of their add ons are really expensive like $2500 for SWG, $2500 for a safety winter cover, $3200 for a gas heater, etc. All of these prices seem to be double or triple what I could purchase them for. If I go with them I'll probably get the standard package and add the accessories like the SWG and pool cover myself.

Tisha,
What part of the country are you in. It really upsets me to see in my area pools of roughtly the same size and features are $10k to $15k more then other parts of the country.
