Cheap Sat Navs

mfceiling · 29-01-2012 07:12PM #1

Just logged on to halfords.ie and went to sat nav clearance section.

Sat Navs from €6!!

Ordered a garmin with full european and gb/ireland maps for €59.90

Random stores seem to have them but i got sorted with mine for coolock.

Clicked on the N Drive Touch XL and one price says €6 but in the product description it's €104

mfceiling · 29-01-2012 07:34PM

My confirmation came through at €59.90...

Will call the store in the morning to make sure.

Do they have to stand over that price i wonder?

MickShamrock · 29-01-2012 07:40PM

I reserved this one for €6. My reservation email hasn't come yet, but I received a text which just gives a ref number. No price.

Any good as a basic Sat Nav?

Bought a Garmin Nuvi 1410 this morning €109, €40 off, nice wide screen.

Halfords Waterford, same reduced price on line. Phew !!!!

Yeah, reserved the same.

If the Sat Nav is useful, let's hope it's running C.E or something.

Any confirmation email for you yet Basq?

mad m · 29-01-2012 07:59PM

If you check stock, they say none in stock....But this is for Dubin...They might be in stock elsewhere.

robertpatterson · 29-01-2012 08:07PM

None in stock anywhere in the ROI according to their website:(

Schorpio · 29-01-2012 08:08PM

None in stock in Cork, Limerick or Tralee either.

EDIT - Kilkenny the only store showing with stock at the mo.

parsi · 29-01-2012 08:09PM

Thanks OP - got a nice 4310 f0r €59 incl 2 years of maps. Text received, no email yet.

Nope.. do they normally e-mail?

Printed confirmation should be sufficient.

Don't know. Just thought they might since they required email address.

Just printing out my confirmation now.

Their site does say:

Siobh73 · 29-01-2012 08:27PM

Yeah , I tried reserving all of the up to E60 and none in stock.

Perhaps with little help of boards :

Use Google navigation - the robo-lady mangles Irish place-names so spectacularly, makes me feel as if I'm abroad.

CH3OH · 29-01-2012 10:32PM

I'd be very wary of travelling any distance before checking with the store that the product is actually in stock.
In the past I ordered something online from Halfords that appeared to be the last one in stock. Gave them a ring to make sure it was there before I travelled. Was told that it hadn't been in stock for months, but the stock system said there was one in store. Couldn't be found.

I have had similar experience with halfords. It wasnt even something that we on offer. Staff didn't really care either

MickShamrock · 29-01-2012 11:22PM

I only have a 10 minute walk to check and see if I'm successful in getting a Sat Nav for €6 tomorrow, so no big deal. If you ain't in, you can't win! :pac:

Yeah, I'm driving past it... not sure if I should go in at 9 and be a little late for work.

Or just wait til lunch.

Think I'll wait til lunch as I've to go to PC World next door to it at some stage tomorrow too.

parsi · 30-01-2012 10:25AM

Collected mine this morning without issue. However they did say that there were reservations made for items that haven't been instore for years so I'd advise patience.

Yeah, the N Drive Touch model has been discontinued for a long time so not holding out much hope.

Fluffy kittens and gumdrops only pay for a certain number of bargains..

.. everything else needs MUNNN-AAYYYYY!

Basq · 30-01-2012 11:32AM

I just got an e-mail confirmation saying my order is ready for collection, so that's reassuring.

Macspower · 30-01-2012 01:21PM

Got a call today from the Navan store to say my Sat Nav is ready for collection. 39 euro one

Berty · 30-01-2012 01:34PM

Think they are trying to clear out some stock. A friend of mine works there and got me one including a case for peanuts. End of Quarter or end of Financial Year trying to get shot of the things.

I got mine including a new map, vent holder and leather case(downloaded from TomTom) for less than the price an updated map on my 6 year old Sat Nav would have cost.

Mine was a TomTom One V4 with Western European mapping.

I hear the one in Limerick has a Sat Nav with Lifetime maps for €150.

VirtualWorld · 30-01-2012 02:27PM

Picked up my 6e sat nav this morning without issue. After reading your comments about people being let down I was already to quote the law of contract, hammer my fists and stamp my feet. Will have to pick a row with someone else now. Damnit.

Digital Satellite TV · 30-01-2012 03:13PM

Jaysus, that's savage. Just reserving a garmin... 11.90 eur...

http://www.halfords.ie/webapp/wcs/stores/servlet/product_storeId_11101_catalogId_15551_productId_525145_langId_-1_categoryId_261853

again, savage.

addition.... None available in ROI

Easy sell stuff for nothing if you don't have it:mad:
