I am able to get a great deal on a Yamaha RX-V679. $250 tax included for a PC Richards floor model. It has the 30 day return policy and a 2 year warranty.
Is there anything to be really concerned about getting it? The display shuts off after use, so it is not running all day or anything of the sort.
Make sure U get all of the accessories including AM/FM antennas, EQ microphone, remote control, power cord, quick setup guide, operation manual. Also get the warranty policy in writing...
I have been using a Marantz AVR for 10 years now. Yamaha is known to be equally (if not more) reliable. As long as you live in a place with stable power supply and don't push it to unreasonable levels, AVRs tend to last very long. If the price is really good, you get the complete kit with all accessories and full warranty, there is nothing to worry about the purchase.
So, the only thing that I may not be able to get is the warranty in writing. What the manager is saying is that the receipt itself says that there is a 2 year warranty on it. So that is pretty much the contract and stipulates that it will be covered.
The guy reneged on his offer. So I ended up with a 681 for $400. Not as good of a price as the rev 679, but this is a new model and not used. So I am still happy.
For those out there, the $681 can be had for $400. The manager said they get them from $383. So I am not sure if you guys have places that you can negotiate with, but my local place was able to do that for me.
Ditto to others. Make sure authorized retailer, get all the accessories you can, and verify all functionality at the store. After all, if you bought new then after a week its pretty much a floor model at that point.
