Costco.com and GPS Question

[mayson12]

I've been looking at getting a GPS for a while. I'm always on the lookout for a deal, so I've been taking my time. I've narrowed it down to the Tom Tom 510 or One. I've been watching refurbished 510s on eBay sell for under $300. They come with a 1yr manufacturer's warrenty. The reviews I've seen for TomTom, mention trouble with the unit "failing" suddenly. Costco.com has the One for $279 new plus $8 shipping and tax. (My local store doesn't carry it). However, if I'm right, then you pretty much get a lifetime warrenty through Costco for the product. Circuit City has the one on sale for $249 with discount code, but their extended warranty for 3 yrs is $109! Not worth it.

Am I right in figuring out that Costco would take the product back for a refund in 3 years if it "fails" suddenly? Does anyone have experience in returning something with receipt that is over a year or two old?

Thanks for the help.

The answer is yes on GPS for now. There is some exclusions like televisions and other items that have to be returned in 90 days. I just ordered the cobra 2100 for 249 and I amde sure this was the case before ordering.
