    You should always be able to get your money back for faulty goods, the Argos 16 day money back is for if you change your mind, but it doesn't apply to some items.

    Doesn't apply to this item unless as you say the item is faulty. The thing is TomTom software is very expensive. So the software is being copied and then being sold on ebay! Ever wondered why there are so many 'As New' tomtoms advertised? :rolleyes:

    they also have the streetpilot for £180 with no mention of 16 day money back being excluded.

    My predicament is that I have a UV coated screen so I will need an external aerial before I know whether it works.
    My hubby has a Fusion with UV coated and heated elements...the tomtom go 300 he has works a treat...be bought an external aerial but didn't need it.
    They are very responsive.

    Thanks but I have a Renault Clio and their screens block more than Fords, according to what I've read anyway.

    Ok Guys, Just come back from my local store.

    Price was £469.99 :mad: :mad: :mad:

    I spoke to someone that looked important and i said i was a bit miffed that the ring and reserve line said the Tom Tom was £319.99 but the onscreen price says £469.99. He tapped away on his computer, then rang the ring and reserve line on loudspeaker. Its said ....todays price is £319.99 so he said no problem and put it through the till. One for me and one for a friend :T

    Thanks to the OP!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    My wife has a Morphy Richards with a chrome coating and plastic handle; it prevents the heat convection from the standard heat element.
    It too is very responsive but the hot water tends to play havoc with the tomtom software disc.

    Sorry couldn't resist!

    I have 2 reserved at different stores but what i want to know is if i leave them until tomorrow would i still get them at the price of £319.99 or would they have corrected it then and they would spout to me it's the price you pay on the day?
