Anyone buy factory refurbished HU off of Ebay?

Looking for a new nav unit, have previously bought new models off of ebay and they have worked seemlessly. Factory Refurb saves you about 40% of the already discounted price. Curious if anybody knows if there is a real difference from the refurb to the new besides being a flaw from the factory and them correcting it.

 

What kind were you looking at?

 

I have bought refurbished phones and a game console and the worked like new products.As long as it was done by the manufacture you should be fine.

 

Where are you finding factory refurbished navigation units for the tacoma on the internet?

 

kenwood 990hd, i have the 9980 and 8890 in my other cars(what ever the last 2 year models are) bought them new from ebay no issues work great. but if i can save 3-4 and get the same thing, why not....

 

kenwood factory refurbished

 

the term refurbished always seems to make me shy away, just getting a feeler, would hate to waste money then it dies out in a month, year, whatever and im kicking myself for trying to save a buck.

 

Sounds good to me, kenwood makes good products and as long as they did the repairs it should be good.

i found one the other day for like 599 but didnt pull the trigger, this is like 695, but still even 300 cheaper than new on ebay and about 3-5 hundred cheaper than a retailer.

 

Dose the seller have a period set up for returns?

 

depends on the seller, the one i put in the link is like 2 weeks they'll full refund, after 2 weeks they fix it/exchange. just have to work fast once ordered i guess. of course some of them, you can buy a warranty, but I dont trust nonfactory/aftermarket warranties, like the ones they try to sell you from the used car lot... to many circumstances and situations there not covered.

 

i looked at your link, seems good to me, but Go with your gut and do what you think because I dont want you to end up with a 700 scrap peace.

 

lol, im trying to talk myself into it, ie.. its a good investment, im saving money, do it, do it...

 

My truck had a kenwood receiver when i bought it work real well, but I up graded to a jvc touch screen a bout a year ago.

 

lol, good luck on what ever you decide on.
