Good Day.

I'm looking to purchase a ZUMO 550 GPC for my scooter. In searching the internet;
I finding a price range from $550 through $1000.
I've had to save over a considerable period in order to put the funds together.
My questions is this:
What is giving one retailer the opportunity to sell his product $500 less than another retailer?
Is one supplier selling a "bare bones" unit with nothing other than the unit in the box and another selling the unit with attachments, batteries, etc?
I know the expression "buyer be ware"; so if any of you has any recommendations regarding retailers or better still what questions to ask the retailer selling the "cheapest" unit; I would gladly accept your advice.

I would ask if they are selling new or refurbished first off... I love my 550 well worth the money..I would also try circuit city or a large retailer..

 

Might ask the seller if it has a US warranty. Not sure about GPs's but know in the past, cameras and stereos were sold cheap but with a GRAY markey warranty, meaning, not good in the US, only overseas

 

Go to www.zumoforums.com. Great bunch of people and will answer your questions about the Zumo. Beware of some of the dealers selling out of New York. They quote a low price, but once ordered, call back to sell extras. If you do not bite, you will receive a notice that the unit has been backordered. Got mine from PC Nation. Great price quick delivery.

 

+1 on Shooter's comments. The 550 sold for motorcycles comes with all the goodies that you need -- some a-holes might strip them from the box to sell separately.

The Zumo forum is your friend.

 

I got mine through PC Nation. They had the cheapest prices and free shipping. Mine came with the car/bike package. I'd buy from them again.

 

I got mine 2 1/2 years ago from pcnation.com. Best price at the time. Be very careful buying stuff off the web without researching the company, lots of shady outfits out there offering bogus low prices.

 

Amazon has it for $611 and I've never had a prob with them.

 

Wait til black friday and check out the sales or the following monday is a great day to buy on the web. It's the web equivalent of the previous friday.

 

+1 -- that's where I got mine a couple of years back. I frequently purchase from Amazon, not because they are necessarily less expensive (although, on occasion, they are), but primarily because they have always been quick & dependable. The little I might save somewhere else just isn't worth my time & unknown risk, IMHO.
