Cheap Origin Blue aye aye?

[andy43]

I've just been to Costco, and they're doing the Origin Blue i GPS system as a special offer at £234.99 inc vat between Nov 10th and 16th - but note this isn't the latest B2 with laser detection and other bits on it.
I think I've seen this for close to £400 elsewhere but I could be wrong?
To get one, you need to be registered as a trade customer (same as Makro etc) and get a little purple passport book thingy in-store with a £50-off voucher (normal price £249+vat).
Hope this is of use to someone...not that I have anything against our wonderful tax system, sorry, speed control system we have in this fine democracy of ours...

Er, your 'sums' don't add up (or rather subtract). Did you mean a £5.00 off voucher? - Streaky

I am planning to get one,
the sums are right price in store £249 + vat
£50 off voucher = £199 +vat = £233

I had one till I sold it and bought a B2. Nice units that work well. The only problem is that they tend to be difficult to read and were too quiet. Also the plug for the GPS arial broke on mine twice (replaced each time under warranty).

They did have a problem early on with duff screens. The screen controller would overheat and the screen would just black out in one or more quarters. Later units solved the problem.

Overall good - B2 better.
