For example, GPSCity.com has three different refurb models for $80. Also check out thegpsstore.com and Amazon.
If you do decide to get a new Garmin, they call them Drive, DriveSmarts or DriveAssist now instead of Nuvi. Each is geared to a slightly different set of features though the all do basic road navigation as does your old nuvi. Be certain to consider what features your old nuvi does that you don't want to do without and make sure you are aware if the new model you are looking at does or does not have those features.
If you only use it once in a while, maybe a free phone app will serve you as well. I use google maps and there are plenty of others too. However since I drive several thousand miles a week, I like having a dedicated Garmin device. I use both the Garmin Drivesmart lmt-s along with google maps on my phone together. Between the two, it get some helpful info. I also get a lot of bad info from both of them. But either will get you to the destination with some amount of efficiency. And if you don't know any better about the routes then you should be happy.
Also, other discounters are able to offer the re-furbs with a longer warranty period than Garmin does on it's own re-furbs
