I've seen them on the web for around $149. I know you can get reconditioned ones for a better price though.

They are at Amazon.com for $139, they are my first choice since I have a gift certificate to use. However, where can I find them reconditioned? How much of a savings are we talking?

Only $20 less for a reconditioned unit? That seems sort of odd. What is the real incentive not to get used? I know $20 is $20, but usually reconditioned is at least a 30-40% savings.

They retail for like $200. So $120 is a good price. Thes internet stores are already cheap. Tha tis why it is only a $20 difference.

Almost forgot an important question....

Is there any special procedure for waxing/polishing on/around the Sport Decals on the rear of my truck?

I've not had a problem with the buffer damaging them. Just try not to go over them. If there is a seem, then polish or wax will compack up against it and you'll have to use a stiff brush to scrub it out.
