Nuvi price is dropping fast.

bought a nuvi750 for $409.00 tax and shipping.

Especially the volume and voice clarity. I have a 340 and a Nuvi 350 and the voice quality (especially at max volume) is better on the 340. I'm just curious before I buy a Nuvi 7xx series unit.

Well, I got the free nüvi 200 in the mail today.

I made a "throw away" mail account in case of tons of spam from the offer but didn't receive even a single piece of spam in that account. All of the confidential or personal info was submitted directly to discovercard.com so the third party site only had the email address I gave them. It's too bad more folks didn't want to get a free GPS.

My wife is gloating "this is mine!". She'll love it.

Thanks for the great tip!

I did read the fine print, you have to activate it and make a purchase, which is fine with me to get a free Nuvi.

Did the Nuvi come a few weeks after the card? UPS or Postal Service?

I've passed the offer onto my friends, hope they don't run out of Nuvi's!

I bought my Nuvi 360 from Amazon for $229 about 6 weeks ago

I ordered the card online and got it a few days later. I made a purchase with the card on 7-10-08 and received the GPS on 8-20-08. The GPS was delivered by USPS and was shipped directly from amazon.com in retail packaging.

Discover Card came in today. I applied for it on 8/23.

I immediately activated it, and made a purchase Amazon.com (I'm getting a new bathing suit!)

Will keep you posted on when the Nuvi arrives.

"thrak" Thanks for your info, makes me feel better hearing others have received their freebie.

Be sure to let us know how long it takes to get your Nuvi!

Decent price at a well-known retailer.

Searched, but did not see this posted elsewhere (found on slickdeals.net)

Note on the circuit city website that it is not available. They could advertise it for $1 and if they don't have any it doesn't really matter...Normal Circuit City ploy!!!

Just bought one from Circuit City yesterday.

Edit: Hmm, I just checked, maybe I got the last one.

Anyone seen any deals on the Nuvi 780? I like the price of the deals on the760, but want the MSN traffic capability of the 780.

price shows $399 now, I guess its over.

Less than two months and a $100 drop and new models all the time. They're trying to keep up with Apple...maybe the next Nuvis will be in colors.

Since I live near a Fry's store, I checked their web page, and the Nuvi 275T, 265T and 265WT are available for pre-order ... and actually all over the web, not just Fry's. So, after October 15, I expect to even more price drops on the older models. Can't wait to see what deals will be available.

Costco.com has the 770 at $399.9x delivered.

I paid $299 for the 660, and I see the 650 is now $227. Nice savings. I knew it didn't have bluetooth or fm, but I didn't know it also doesn't have the traffic, ac adapter, and carrying case.

If the 650 goes under $200, I'll buy it for a 2nd unit in the household....

When you purchase any electronic device the chances are good that it is outdated already. It is only when the company has drained the most it can out of the geek-consumers that the newer, next generation will be made available. Of course it will be at a premium price when first introduced to the market.

I purchased a Nuvi 880 in the middle of August for $818.00 plus taxes. I searched the net for a long time using www.nextag.com which is my favorite comparison shopping tool.

The site will return good results plus price history on your search item. I made the mistake of looking at nextag to see what the price of the 880 is today. Big mistake, it has dropped to $635.00. A drop of $183.00 in just 30 days and the trend shows a steep decent indicating that the price will soon be even lower.

It’s all about timing. Make your purchase when you feel comfortable about the value vs. price at that time. A couple weeks down the road the chances are pretty good that the item will be on sale ‘somewhere' for less.

But by then the newer, shinier model will be out and has those extra bells and whistles that you were looking for in the first place.

Don't just keep your eye on the Nuvi's this November's Black Friday ads. Your going to be amazed at pricing just for Garmin to stay competitive for the Holiday Season.

Actually watch all the GPS'r manufactures for their newest and greatest Models and features at fantastic pricing. But be prepared to be in line early because each store will only have a very limited supply of each at the very low Black Friday price.

And yes folks there is life after Garmin! be sure to INTERNET compare models and features before buying.
Just look at my signature line, some of you already know my favorite.

So be for you go out and Buy That new Garmin because you think the prices have dropped, Just wait until NOVEMBER 28th 2008 at about 5:00am for the best price yet.

Remember there are other manufactures pounding on Garmins door for the number one slot, Why do you think they have been dropping prices so fast already, because they like you?? The Number two slot is about to be taken over by a different manufacture that was a start up a couple years ago,and they have their eyes on Garmin for 2009.

Yep, exactly. We got a lenovo core 2 duo for $549 when on the website the chip was 1.8 instead of 1.66 ghz, 250 gb instead of 160gb, etc. But it was around $779. That was a whopping 2 mos. ago. Today, that 1.8 ghz machine is $599. I'd rather pay $50 more to get the bigger hard drive and chip.

Anyway, back to gps, I find the nuvi 660 is a workhorse and I don't feel I'm missing anything. I would like to pickup a 650 before they're gone, and I'm hoping maybe in the high $100's.....$179 would be very nice.

New Nuvi 350s are now $179 at Amazon.com. OCT/1/08

I got my nuvi 200 for $119 at Circuit City

http://www.circuitcity.com/ssm/Refurbished-Garmin-nuvi-200-G...

Of course it was a refurb, but it looks brand new to me. Most refurbs are perfectly fine when they get sent back by dummies who can't figure out how to turn them on IMHO.

Bought my Nuvi 255W from Staples. They price matched to Wal-Mart and I had an additional $25 off coupon plus free 2 day shipping. Total with tax = $275

Thanks for the tip! I forgot about the Staples pricematch.

Wish I could have gotten this deal back in June. Anyone that is in the market the Garmin 770 with both North America and Europe maps and 4GB memory is only $324.74 including shipping at Amazon now.

got my nuvi 650 for a little over $200

Costco's a great place to buy a GPS. They have good warranty coverage on it too.

Its now $307.40 at the same site.... pretty soon they might be paying us to own one at this price drop rate:))

I've been looking at the 780 for the MSN map capabillity, but looks like the 770 comes with that ability also and also includes Europe maps - but does anyone know if the 770 comes with the traffic receiver? (the description of the 780 seems to indicate that it comes with the receiver, but the description of the 770 is unclear)

770 comes with a traffic receiver cable (GTM20) in the US (not the MSN version of cable). Mine did anyway

This is the link to the Nuvi 780

https://buy.garmin.com/shop/shop.do?cID=134&pID=13479

Once you open the link, click on the tab that says "in the box" to see more about the product.
As you will note the 780 has a MSN receiver included in the box and the 760 and 770 both have the FM traffic receiver included in the box. Keep in mind all three of the above units have the capability of using both MSN & FM traffic receivers.

This should help you.
Rayzers

Thanks this helps - just to be sure, the 770 has the ability to receive MSN traffic but does not include the MSN receiver, while the 780 includes the MSN receiver - right? I only ask because the FM traffic doesn't cover my city while MSN does. So if I get the 770 I assume I would have to buy an MSN receiver in order to get the MSN service - how much are those and are they bulky?

I just looked at garmin's site and the MSN receiver is $120! outch! Decisions, decisions! I like the maps that are included with the 770, but I like the MSN receiver included with the 780. I like the price of the 770. hmmmm.

Not sure if this has been mentioned yet, but Costco has an awesome deal on a 205w.

$199.99 for the 205W including FREE GPS Bean Bag Mount, and only $4.99 for shipping. Offer good thru 10-26-08.

http://www.costco.com/Browse/Product.aspx?Prodid=11301090&se...

I love my 205w, much more than the 200w. Wish I had waited to buy from Costco as opposed to Best Buy.

I see it's $318 and change now. Interesting what drives amazon's prices, and why is a 760 much more at $347.09? I got a Moen replacement cartridge for $13.49, and now it's $16. It's like with amazon, if you truly see a price you like, buy the product. The next time you check, it may have gone up or down.

with 30% cash back

Is now $451 at amazon, not in stock yet but $50 less than most places if you can wait.

Where do you find 30% cash back on Ebay?
I looked and could find no such thing.

Can you share the link with us zch888?

Darn, the Nuvi 750 was $249 on Amazon this morning on a Gold Box deal. I missed it!

Now it's back to $284.

wow that's a great price!

I'm grabbing a new GPS this week, and I'm looking for the best deal on a *70 series, as I'm heading to Europe next spring.

The Amazon gold box deals are awesome when you catch them -- I'm definitely adding the Gold Box RSS to my reader.

I found a n860 for 485.00 on the net. Ho hay Joe I need my boat back I was planning on going fishing this weekend.

Thanks for the info Rayzers - I got it!

Nuvie 760 for $340 at amazon

$334 for the Nuvi 770 at Amazon.com

It doesn't make sense but I like it.

The 770 has gone up. It was about $319 with free shipping from Amazon earlier in the week.

I can't wait for black friday.

I think I'm either going to buy a new 200 for my mom, or buy something better for myself and give mine to my mom.

I really would like to have tracking/routes on my GPS. It's too bad the 200 doesn't do this anymore.

I first got Garmin Nuvi for $287. Then I returned it and got a deal for $200. I am happy with it now. I saw the deal on http://janatanews.com
