Here is your chance. Grab them while they last.

Logitech Driving Force GT
Recertified wheels for only $51.95.

There would be nothing better but to see you guys share an experience with GT5 while using a high quality wheel.

(Mod can go ahead move this if this isn't proper area to post this.)

EDIT: If you already have a wheel you like, be sure to spread the word.

Looks pretty cheap, but I live in Germany, would it be possible to import it? :D

I'm not sure, to be honest. I guess you can try, or at least read their shipping policies to see if they do.
 
Damn, it states "We currently do not accept orders for shipment outside the Continental United States." :(

So I have to buy one for about 100-110€ here -.-
 
I would probably jump on this, but I'm kind of cautious getting a recertified item from a site I've never heard of... has anyone bought from them before?

I have once, a bluetooth headset, but i dont remember if it was recertified or not.

110 euros? I live in Spain and i bought it by 80 euros, including shipping taxes 93.17 euros, 24h shipping and the messenger gave me the wheel on the door of my home.
 
Yeah I could import it from amazon.co.uk for about 89 Euro, but I think I can forget the guarantee if I get it that way, so I gotta look for a cheap option here in Germany, cause I don't want to end up with a broken wheel a year later :/

Well you're damn lucky because in stores it still costs 139 euros.
 
many of these wheels are either bad from the box or go bad within a short period of time. Why would you risk dealing with a refurb and most likely shipping it back at your expense?
 
Why is that? Mine has been great from the box. I had an issue with my pedals, but that's just because of the way my wheel was mounted, it caused the plug to the pedals to come loose, which left me with constant 80% throttle.

It also says that all the items have a warranty. It's cheap for what it is, that's why someone would bother. They aren't bad wheels at all.

They do come with a 30 day warranty. I'll inspect mine real well and put it through some heavy use to make sure there is nothing wrong with it.
 
Honestly I think its a waste of money, sure you get a wheel but you get no CLUTCH. Im sorry I would save your money for a g25/g27 instead of waisting it on DFGT, since GT5 doesnt come out untill who knows. Save your money.
 
I don't know, I'm tempted to get this too even if I already have a G27. Racing with my dad or some of my friends would be much better if I had another wheel.

60 bucks huh... lol Should I get MAG or this? haha
 
Get a DFGT, that's an awesome price, not a waste of money, and it has a warranty. It would be cool to go two player with wheels. I'm not worried about a clutch, but I will upgrade to a G27 this year, I have to rebuild my cockpit for shifter mounting and the new pedals though...

True... But MAG looks so tempting. Then again I'm just really worried by what they mean "recertified." Still, the 60 bucks is tempting.

It's just that I'm also saving up for a Playseat as well.
 
They explain it on the site. They do say that they're all checked out prior to sale. Could be simple as messed up packaging. But yeah, I understand what you mean.

I was wanting to save up for the G25 for the longest time, but simply I don't get that kind of money anymore. Tutoring isn't as in demand these days so my hours are cut down to a little over 10 hours a week. A clutch would be great, but for someone who just started using a wheel, the DFGT would be great.
 
I just got mine in the mail today, I ordered it on Tuesday. The box was a little beat-up, but the wheel itself was perfect. The wheel obviously took some getting used to. The Ford GT didn't work out so well at first, so I switched to the Ford Focus to practice. The difference between the wheel and a controller was night and day. The force feedback was amazing, and manual transmission wasn't totally impossible for me any more. If you are thinking about getting this wheel, I would recommend buying it, I'm happy I did. So far, I haven't found any problems with the seller or the fact that it's refurbished. It gets a thumbs-up from me 👍

TL/DR: Great wheel, great seller, buy it now :D

I dont know man if your getting the game for GT5 you cant stash away 25$ a month? If you did you would have enough in 6 months to get the Logitech g25 from this website here that is selling it for 200$ cheapest place I could find it for and its new.
