What are the cons to this? I'm able to get a decent deal on a factory refurb D3X. Should I stay away? Any known problems?

Thanks in advance.

90 day warranty instead of a year is about it

That's a tough one.I've bought refub. with pretty good luck(not a nav unit).The problem is,you don't know what the previous problem was(minor/major)and is it truely fixed or a band-aide applied.Now.....,you're buying a highly complex unit ,plus you're adding a refub.title to it with a 90 day warranty.Is it a really good price you're paying?If you buy it ,play it 24/7 while its in warranty.Good-Luck on your decision !

Whats the price point dif to warrent losing 9 months on the warrentee?

Its basically a $200 difference upfront. If I can get the rebate then it'll be about $10 difference, but thats once I get the rebate back.

I'm from Canada so I can get the refurb shipped without having to pay duties or anything for just under $700. Or I'll be in Chicago next week where I can buy it locally for $902 w/taxes, and then hopefully get the $200 rebate eventually using a relatives US address.

stylez...buy it in chicago....but why not buy it from bestbuy they have it still got 699.99$ got mine from them brand new for that price.

In that case wait and by it when you visit the states.If you can still get the rebate you'll pay a little more out of pocket but you'll have the full 1 year warranty and a brand new unit and make sure the person who installs it know what he's doing. Good-Luck !

P.S. Now get on the phone and see when the rebate expires!

I'm a certified installer so installation is no problem.

The problem with the best buy one is that it doesn't come with the BT and iPod wire.

I'm sorry I missed that big X behind the D3.Since you're certified you don't need me to tell you about the pros and cons of a refurb D3x. I'm sure you already know.Goto Amazon.com they had the D3x listed as low as 719.00 +24.60 shipped New.

So it sound like buying new is the way to go..

Considering the refurb. is about the same price as the new,then yes,new is the way to go.If you can trust the seller ?

Why not trust the seller?

Man just buy a new one.

I got mine off ebay for 560 or something like that + shipping, and I am in Canada.

Just because they're online and have the best looking web site doesn't mean they're legit.Some will promise the world at a great price but can't deliver.Check some of the threads here on this site and read for yourself.Before you buy go to sites like this and ask have anyone bought form them and how was their experience.

I ordered mine from 6ave.com today. $724 shipped for the D3X. What really sucks is....I own a shop and I basically lost out on the rebate all together because I debated for too long as to whether or not I should buy this or not. Then when I made the decision to buy it, my dist. was out and they said it has been discontinued and they are waiting on the replacement. Not being sure about the pricepoint, features, etc... I decided to just bite the bullet and buy it. You can still find the D3 alone some places for $599 to $620 and maybe cheaper, but I just decided to get the whole package since I read that the LG enV actually works well with the bluetooth device. If the replacement is that much better, I might have to just sell the D3.
