Only bought my 550 a couple of weeks ago from halfords - cost me £338 delivered. Now halfords are selling it for £419 :eek:

Supply and demand :nenau
 
Bloody Garmin, Ive been waiting for an unlock code for the last week.
Not very sharp at replying to their emails. :rolleyes:
 
MRRP on a Zumo 550 is £479.99 and until recently Halfords had a retail price of £371.00 then had a 10% weekend where a kit could be had for £338.

I guess a number of enquiries fell after this date and now hey have stock again have a retail price of £419.99 which might well turn into another 10% special offer of £377.91 which is curiously about where others price their Zumo 550's.

Me a cynic? Never :rolleyes:
 
I think the price increase is down to Halfords not Garmin.

... Exactamundo :rolleyes:


... Price increase :loopy ... yer 'avin a larf aincha :D

... Zumo550 is already an established model in a market where margins are under pressure and the premium paying "early adopters" have long gone. The 550 will be reduced further in price before the year end (£299 offers for Christmas) and we'll all be waiting for £399 Zumo650s :rob

... Still gonna buy one now though, I've forgotten the way to :tesco :aidan
 
What will the 650 or 750 do that the 550 doesn't? Short of telepathic control, or a built-in hard-disk video recorder, I can't think of how it would be improved.
