Nuvi price is dropping fast.

Only $50 less to go (that is, I'd pay $299), and I'll get one! Right now I'm still happy with my c340. I paid $270 for it last August.

Sorry about the problems you both had with Amazon. I've never had that problem with shipping.

I purchased mine from Amazon.com and paid $429.00 with free shipping and not sales tax. I also wrote a review of it on their website. For me dropping below the $500.00 mark for the selling point.

Costco "Online" has the Nuvi 360 for $349.00 less $100.00 online coupon until Feb 10th. That is a great deal

I just got my first GPS, the Nuvi 200W, in early January. I paid far less than the 'list price,' which reviewer sites such as CNET said was a big knock against an otherwise good platform. So, I have no 'buyer's remorse' after my purchase and I'm very happy with the performance and styling of the 200W.

Now, there's a fork in the road for all first-time buyers of a GPS I suppose: Do you buy an entry-level model and use it for a year or two before deciding whether you need to upgrade? And if you do feel the need to upgrade, you can be sure that those same dollars will buy a much more capable unit than you have now. It's a thesis for entering at the low end and riding the technology-up/price-down wave for a year or two.

The other direction is to buy the best and most you can afford right from the get-go. My investigation suggested that more dollars buy more features...not necessarily better performance. I don't think I want a GPS that can play my U2 songs, for example. Or 'reading' a book to me. And I laughed when I heard a higher-end Nuvi botch 'Muscatanipus Road' with the text-to-speech capability. My Nuvi 200W has none of those things, and I'm not (thus far) pining away for them. In two years or so, I may well want to buy a new GPS. And the same $220 I paid for my Nuvi 200W will surely buy me a great unit in 2010...once I really come to grips with what matters to me and what doesn't.

pcrush has the nuvi370 (NEW) for only $390 no taxes and free shipping. Before you buy and GPS people just check pcrush.com I think they have the best prices.

indeed an incredible deal. I bought my Nuvi 360 last summer at futureshop $549.99 PLUS taxes

Costco is currently selling the Nuvi360 for $249.99 The Nuvi650 for $299.99 and The Nuvi680 for $479.99

I recently bought Garmin Nuvi 200W from Costco for $200. Best deal anywhere.

could this mean no more updates to the fw from garmin?

Do you have to belong to buy from their online store?

Amazon tries to do that!

Amazon had a brand new nuvi 660 at $350 so I grabbed it. The following day it was back to $399.

just purchased at best buy for 497.00

Nuvi 680 - $480.97 Shipped from Avalon:

I just got one as well but it was $479. I was surprised the 680 was cheaper than the 660

I just bought the 260 at Target for $289.00. Works great and with text to speech.

Yes, you have to belong to Costco to buy from their online store but, $288 for a nuvi 360 including tax and shipping is a pretty sweet deal for a $40 annual membership.

Damn, I shouldn't have sold my Costco stock.

I can beat that - Nuvi 260 for $251.95 shipped.

Amazon price now $399.

I bought at $420 and they refunded to lowest price within 30 days. It went down to $384, I called and got $36 back. No hassle. Price now has gone up a bit to $399, but will continue dropping I'm sure. Nice unit.

hey dave, hate to tell you this, I just bought my nuvi 680. for an outstanding low price of $460. including taxes as well. I bought it from besy buy on 27 jan. I hit the 12% discount that weekend.

I bought my Nuvi 680 from circuit city, they price matched a Costco price of approx 487 dollars.

I bought my 680 at best buy on the 27th of Jan for $460. Beat that.

Costco's annual basic membership is normally $50, not $40. How did you get it for $40?

I had to pay 15 charge for not being a member..But I think I will go ahead and become a member as they have Great Customer service and super prices...I see they have the 360 for 259...That is a great deal...

I saw amazon selling the nuvi 650 for $359...The prices are dropping so fast

Unless sales tax in your state is less that 3.5%, I can beat that - $475.97 delivered from Avalon

See when the first post is on it and follow the drop in prices over a year. It's amazing how much one poster paid $999. I know when you buy any tech product forget about comparing the price you paid and what someone paid at a later date it will only make you crazier.

I hope all you guys who are getting rock bottom prices on the Nuvi 680 are buying the extra warranty.......I think the price is dropping so fast because they don't last long.......I paid 999.00 when they first came out plus 100.00 for the 4 year extra warranty......I am on my third unit so far.......from Best Buy and never had to pay another cent for exchange..........Dave

Is this a typical customer experience for 680? Sounds like DaveK3131 has had more than his fair share of bad luck.

Best Buy is apparently selling them for either $479 or $599 based upon their inventory level. I bought one last weekend for $599 in Montclair, CA and then went to the Pasadena, CA store on Monday they had it for $479. When I asked about the discrepancy in pricing it was relayed to me that the clearance price of $479 all depends on inventory levels. Thank goodness they have 30 day price matching!

If anyone mentioned this or not but my local BestBuy here in Santa Rosa will price match internet ads on the Garmin AND, they are hurting so bad for sales that some people are naming their prices and GETTING the unit for it! My buddy just bought a 32" LCD HD TV listed at $999.00 and made them an offer of $729.00 and they took it!

Bought my brand new Garmin Nuvi 670, 4 weeks ago directly from Amazon.com for 599.99 This was FROM Amazon, not one of the other sellers on amazon.com. The current price is the same today.

$497.65 Shipped from pcRUSH:

I was in Costco in Altamonte Springs, Florida
today (2/17/08) and they are selling the Nuvi 680 for a rock bottom price of $399.95. I already own a Nuvi 660 but I purchased the Nuvi 680 for my son.

http://www.costco.ca/Browse/Product.aspx?Prodid=10304260
This item is online only.

I also found the Nuvi 680 at Costco in Charleston SC for $399.95 on 2/19/08.

I recently purchased my Nuvi 750 for $255 from HSN.com. They had a special where it was $299 less a 15% discount. Excellent price for this unit.

Now if we could only see the 800 series come down to earth prices that would be great... My wife would be getting my 660... LOL

I just got a nuvi 360 for $249 from Costco website. Plus shipping and a 5% extra fee for not being a member. I think total was $286.

I got my brand new nuvi 350 two weeks ago from a Buffalo online retailer @256.00 shipped. So far so good with the machine and the service.

In reading these posts from over the last year it seems that GPS prices are falling like a rock. I found the 750 on sale last week for $299, which is at least $100 cheaper than I've seen it anywhere else. Hopefully it doesn't come down in price anytime soon or I'll be kicking myself for not waiting longer.

Yeah, it's new today and old tomorrow...Ah well, with the price coming down perhaps this will open the door for more people creating more POI files which would benefit us all. I still love my 660 though, I can't imagine what else I could want in a GPS unit other than having it do the driving for me while I look out the window and the sites! (LOL)

Soon they'll be giving them away:

bought a 680 at best buy 3 weeks ago,paid 479.00 onsale,tech said they had to get rid of extra stock to make way for the new 880.

The price drop is why I finally got my first gps, Nuvi 250w for 218 plus 6 shipping.

I love the bluetooth capability. Now I can easily see who is calling....and IGNORE them!!

I just bought the 680 from Costco for $399.99 as well. Any concerns about quality / longevity are eliminated by Costco's amazing return policy. At that price, I just couldn't pass it up!
