No trace for sale of the i3 in the new Argos catalogue.

Why is this I wonder and where does it leave us with their returns policy should we need to do so ???? Rolling Eyes [/b]

Wink Working in retail already the Garmin i3 is virtually discontinued now & is selling through its last remaining stock which is why most places like Halfords, Comet & Maplin Electronics are selling them cheaply around 100 quid mark

had a faulty i3 brought online from maplins in september 2005 (cost £199)..took it back to the shop and they sent it away to their repair dept and maplins gave me a full refund ...went to comet and got one for £99...moral is if argos cant replace the faulty one they should do you a refund..

Yes I accept all this but what it does mean is that when I take my I3 in which is now faulty I am faced with buying a repalcement with around the £180 it cost me.

Which one should I get bearing in mind I want to keep using the sped camera database and POI

I couldnt get one in Comet in a 70 mile radius and Halfords no longer sell them according to my local store.

I got mine from cpw but it was listed at £146 and I got it down to £125 as that what it sells on cpw web site. The shops system wouldnt allow it to go to price match Comets price of £99.99.
