I've been looking to replace my Garmin 430W with an Avidyne 440. It uses the same connectors and is truly plug-n-play with only a little reprogramming. I saw prices from 12K to about 10.3K and would have to sell my 430W on eBay to get some of the money back. Avidyne will give a rebate of $4500 for a working 430W but I think wants to do it through a dealer.
I saw a price of $5245 for the IFD 440 from AvionicsSource.com in Seattle. They will ship a new IFD 440 to you for that price and you then pull your 430W and ship it back to them.
Has anyone ever bought from them? Seems like a great deal. I just don't want it to be on of those "If it sounds like it's too good to be true - it probably is" deals.
Feedback appreciated. Thanks
