I Was Just Checking Some Sites For Current Pricings On A Garmin 4212 When I Notice A "refb." Has Anyone Thoughts On A Refb. Unit? They Come With A Warrenty. Almost Like A Hand Built Model Or Am I Kidding Myself? It's About 33% Off List Price.

We bought a refurbished Garmin for my dad's boat in Florida. It came off of ebay with full factory warranty. The box had a Garmin sticker on it that stated refurbished with one year warranty. He just installed the unit last month and it works great. I can't remember the model number but it is a 5" color screen.Quote:

Most companies, Garmin included I believe, sort their returns. They take the best based on cosmetics and do a factory refurbish. The lessor units are often sold to other refurbish businesses. You definitely want the Garmin Factory Refurbish. The easiest way to tell is if a one year Garmin factory warranty is included. If the offering is a 90 day no label warranty, it is not Garmin. When you get the product it should arrive in a Garmin retail box, complete with all accessories, and be marked "refurbished product" some where on the box. Be sure to register the product immediately as further verification that it is a Garmin Refurbish.
