Default Best deal on Garmin Aera 510??

Given the barrage of "sales" and discounts flying around this time of season....where could one find the best deal on one of these units?

Thanks Trevor...I keep finding the exact same price for this unit all over the internet. Perhaps Garmin has a strangle hold on the price as well. I was hoping that with all the discounts of "Cyber Monday" going around that maybe there would be one for the 510.

Garmin is pretty strict on their minimum advertised pricing. Call and get a quote. You may find that they can work with you as an individual.

Brantel...good idea. I called Pacific Coast but they couldn't/wouldn't go lower than the advertised price. They were very pleasant though...sounded like a good guy.

I wonder if it would be possible to get a better deal from a dealer in Canada? I dont think Garmin enforces the min advert price in Canada/ Worked for us when we bought our 496 from Canada.
