Sweet! Was $ 269.95.
Render your satnav instantly silent with Stig mode, LOL.
Too bad it doesn't have a laser/radar detector.

Coupon code "Welcome123f" will cut the price to $60. There should also then be free shipping at the final stage of checkout.

Code is no longer valid and the price is back up to $199.99

Did anyone receive their $60 or $70 units? They are keeping mine in Process status.

Same with me. I'm guessing someone at TomTom is getting fired.

I wonder if it was supposed to be in pound sterling instead of dollars?

At today's rate, 70pounds would be $110.71 US.

I think what happened was they put the price as the discount amount rather than the original price minus the discount.

and now they are trying to think of a way to get out of this deal as gracefully as possible. Which will be tough because this will reflect on BBC and TopGear too. All three will have at least a little say.

Sad part is the gadget is probably manufactured for about $13/each.

I wonder if we can get this story onto Top Gear. I would love to hear Jeremy's take on this.

Saw this email coming from a few days ago.

OK, so it's a mistake, but I haven't gotten my refund yet, which is adding insult to injury. Give a, give a, give a Garmin.

I've been arguing with Tomtom customer support for a few days now..still no luck....

@sgtsoysauce: I finally got mine today, hope yours came too. The refund delay did more to tarnish their rep than the pricing error ever did.
