If you want to buy a Chevette....go ahead. We're just trying to edumakate you. If you still decide that you want them....go right ahead.

P.S. How much do you think you can rent a Chevette for?

i know what a chevette is my sister had one and racked up 100k miles on it. ugly as all get go.

Look at that, equipped with '89 BMW M3 fender flairs and all.

Point being while they are cute transportation, would want to drive it EVERYDAY, 365 a year.

SunMan49 · 25th October 2008, 02:00 PM

They sell a complete salon package...10 beds and a ton of 'free' lotion for $29,000. REALLY!! You probably saw that on their web site.
In todays enviroment when one good bed cost $29K at the least, what kind of beds could the Tropicals really be??

Save your money.

do you want to be a follower or a leader?

(you just know they are still going to buy em!)

trackerbuddy · 26th October 2008, 12:03 AM

the bottom line is they are Sunal beds with a different sticker on them. They are made of steel and I would suspect they would run forever. The perfect tan line still has the retro angled steel look to it from the 90's the tropical rayz beds have a different skin on them but the same bed. Even if you are set on your decision to buy the beds look for used and while you are at it look at other used beds

plucack · 27th October 2008, 03:52 PM

I was told that you must back the endcaps to get the acrylics off. If that's true, they're much too difficult to maintain. A salon owner I know inherited two of the Tropical Rayz beds and called me looking for a manual. After much research, I found the people that make them and the manual was available for download...for $10! I said "forget it". If your only criteria is "cheap" then you've found what you're looking for.

eileen · 27th October 2008, 04:21 PM

With the standups you have one screw at the top of each panel, it takes all of 10 seconds to unscrew and lift out the acrylic.

Colourutan · 27th October 2008, 06:27 PM

Well, I want to thank you all so much for your input (and BS) as always, it's been a pleasures reading everything. Definitely will continue looking.............you raised some great points! Thanks

mgj · 27th October 2008, 07:16 PM

Good choice been there done that. Do not worry about "free lotion", buy a good bed at a good price and order new lotion from a reputable distributers.

northtanman · 1st April 2009, 05:44 PM

i don't see cars at the new salon in my town that opened with these beds. they are terrific beds for your competition to use!!

sopranotan · 1st April 2009, 06:11 PM
