I hope that this isn't a thread hijack but.. I was looking at a Garmin 500. Garmin had a factory refurbished one for $163.95 USD. Complete with 1 year warranty. Any one have experience with factory refurbished? I didn't think they would repair them.
A long time ago, when CBs were popular, my father knew a distributor of CBs. He said that, at least back then, the refurished ones were better because a technician actually worked on and repaired them. The same with these?
