Several of us bought Magellans last year on eBay. Really cheap, work 
great, didn't need instructions to learn (important factor for us old 
guys). It has a few shortcomings but nothing major. We love them and 
the eBay purchasing experience worked well, the units were new in box 
and $50 cheaper than even Best Buy.

In retrospect I'd purchase a unit that has updated maps available on 
the internet for downloading.

and, oh yes -- you may want to talk to your best friend in a local 
police department about theft. These are a prime target if left in 
the car, and all it takes is a busted window to get it. And the 
thieves are pretty clever -- if they spot the ring left on the 
windshield in the former location of the suction cup, they may break 
in and search for the unit you hid under the seat. park under a street light.
