DDX512 Refurb?

[Bayer 10+ year member]

I'm looking into getting a new head unit, but it will be paid for by someone else (xmas present). I was given a pretty low budget, ~$350 lol. I am looking into the DDX512 and I'm pretty pumped. It has everything I am looking for in a head unit, except the price isn't very inspiring. I found this:http://www.salectronics.com/detail.asp?product_id=ddx512rb&referer=googleads&gclid=CP2W1fXNsZcCFQO5GgodagL_iQ

Is going refurb a bad idea? I plan on purchasing the extended warranty through saletronics.com, but is this a bad idea also? //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/confused.gif.e820e0216602db4765798ac39d28caa9.gif

EDIT: Nevermind about the warranty, It is offered through a third party company, they represent nintendo and black and decker so they must be legit.

sometimes refurbs can be good and sometimes bad...i've bought some that look and perform like new and other that looked like they were put through hell and you wouldn't want it anywhere near your dash...in fact the last few refurbs i've purchased have looked like total hell....i've pretty much have decided to never buy another...but you may have better luck...

Louisiana_CRX: I guess I'll have to call saletronics and see if they would exchange for something like that. Anyone deal with this website before?
