My wife and I have been considering getting a fiberglass pool for a few weeks now. I've e-mail two promanent builders in my area and they seem very high compared to other prices I've seen reported here in other parts of the country. For example, one guy told me they didn't do fiberglass but their vinyl pools started at $30,000. Another, ballparked a fiberglass pool (16' x 35' kidney shape) at $43,000.

Any ideas why these prices are so high and what arguement I can use to get the price down?

Thanks!
