Garmin 430W

[isaacpr7]

Here you go fellow mooniacs. I found this add with a good deal and thought you guys should know. Apparently the company is upgrading their fleet to 650s and are selling their 430s. I wish I could jump in on it but I'm saving up for an autopilot first.

Smoking deal! >$2000 less than market price right now.

The post/update date was April 2014. Unless they have a large fleet I would think there are slim chances of still having any at this price.

It was a new add on my FB feeds. It looks like each one of their ACTUAL had two, so who knows? They might still have some. Otherwise, they would not be paying for advertisement.

Has anyone bought anything off this site to give a review. I clicked on all the current ads and the newest was two months old dated 7-2014 with the oldest being 12-2013.

I don't know but if I was to buy something that expensive it would have to be through PayPal because they will hold the money for about 30 days or so that I can inspect the merchandise and if it's not good they won't pay the seller until resolved.

Anything that sounds that good...

Make sure you do your homework.

There isn't a logical reason to sell a 430W at an off market price.

Something is fishy.

If your in the neighborhood, go visit it first.

Just my thoughts,

This kinda sounds like the "too good to be true" scam ads that they warn you about on Barnstormers. Hopefully not tho.

Total scam !! I have only been able to communicate via text with this guy and he finally said "I'm out of town, so you will have to send the money to XYZ before he can send it out ". Hmm.

Wow, that's insane! I went through the same thing when I was trying to buy my Mooney. Over 14 scammers tried to rip me off and they all used the same tactics and stories.

When the advertised selling price is well below market value, not surprising.

All us CB's know that.
