Buying from Sulit.com

[bobbyrosadia]

Hi everyone,

This will be my first post. I found an ad in the sulit.com website that is selling a brand new Nuvi 255W(among other Garmin products) for a discounted price of P8,695 (from 10K++). Approximate SRP from Garmin website is USD180.

What is the general experience of members in this forum regarding buying from sites such as sulit.com?

Will greatly appreciate any headsup anyone could give me.

Thanks in advance.

That price is reasonable enough for a gps that is sold in the country. Looking at the price at amazon, a similar model will cost you $140, which is about 6,300 pesos, excluding shipping cost. Just make sure that the model they're selling at sulit is indeed brand new and not refurbished.

Distinguishing Refurbished Units

Mga sir, is there any way of distinguishing a refurbished unit from a brand new one? I think I read somewhere here that a buyer can identify them from the color of the box -is this correct and are there any other ways to check that it is really brand new? Am thinking of buying a nuvi from Sulit too since there are two sellers there that have physical shops and could therefore issue receipts.

Theres a chance a unit is refurbished if it was disconnected in garmin site.

my refurbished unit that I got from amazon came in a plain blue and white small garmin box. It has no seal around the box. Maybe brand new units have a picture of the gps unit outside the box.

Just got my Nuvi 260W from Amazon last week. Paid 110 USD with my credit card and was billed 5,009 in pesos. Had it shipped to my relatives in the US and brought here. Not bad, the unit is brand new as indicated in the product description. Comes in a box with pictures and description. Not sure though how it differs from the 255w. Installed the local map from here works ok.Satellite signal is full most of the time except when under a roof (garage, basement parking etc.).

nuvi 260w is a discontinued product. https://buy.garmin.com/shop/shop.do?pID=37418 its replaced by 265w

while 255w is the new product of garmin replacing 250w

now, if its really a new one then its a good buy
