+Caniac Nation Posted May 23, 2009 Share Posted May 23, 2009 Looking at getting a 60CSx and the refurbished is $20 cheaper than a new one. Normally I would buy new, but I've heard good things about the Garmin refurbished and they both have the same warranty. Any opinions or experience? Thanks in advance! Quote Link to comment
NordicMan Posted May 23, 2009 Share Posted May 23, 2009 Refurbished products are usually a great deal! But, I'd pass if they're only knocking $20 off the new price.. what's the point? Quote Link to comment
+splashy Posted May 23, 2009 Share Posted May 23, 2009 Just THINK what you can do with a gps, then it goes to Garmin. they get it working again, because obviously it didn't, they supply a new (looking) casing. Because of a discount of a mighty $ 20 you are allowed to buy this thing. Yes it's a Very nice Gps, but its old. Quote Link to comment
+Hrethgir Posted May 24, 2009 Share Posted May 24, 2009 I love refurbed electronics! I've never had a problem with any refurb stuff I've bought, and that includes the DeLorme PN-20 I used to have. I figure that a refurb item already had it's problems and had it fixed, so any issues where already someone elses problems! Check out www.pcnation.com , they have good prices on Garmin stuff, and their refurb 60CSx is $40 cheaper than the new one: Refurb $248: http://www.pcnation.com/web/details.asp?it...33AA&GEN0=Y New $291: http://www.pcnation.com/web/details.asp?it...0170&GEN0=Y Quote Link to comment
+Redwoods Mtn Biker Posted May 25, 2009 Share Posted May 25, 2009 Refurbs are fine for handhelds, but be more wary for auto GPS. They often come with older maps and are not eligible for free updates if a new map comes out right after purchase. Quote Link to comment

Just brought a Nuvi 255W (White-Box) Refurb, it had the 2009 maps installed, the with in 60day of use update, as well as a one year warranty......so far everthing is ok fine, have made a couple of 2000 mile plus runs using the unit, and yes I would buy another Refurb unit!

+Redwoods Mtn Biker Posted May 25, 2009 Share Posted May 25, 2009 That's good to know. Garmin specifies that their nuMaps guarantee only applies to "new" units, but maybe they define it to include refurbs now. Quote Link to comment
