"The long-expected discontinuation of maintenance support for Garmin’s iconic GNS 430/530 series navigators has taken a big step. The company has posted a service advisory telling customers that “display repairs for the WAAS and Non-WAAS GPS 400, GNC 420, and GNS 430 are no longer available and have been discontinued.”

I'll take it!
Haha, seriously I too will be hanging on to mine as long as it works. I expect that working units will become increasingly rare with people letting them go for parts as they fail.
