wagon b0y Posted July 18, 2008 Report Share Posted July 18, 2008 Looking to pick up a z3 in the next couple days. Wondering where everyone has been purchasing theirs. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
supermixer Posted July 18, 2008 Report Share Posted July 18, 2008 i've only seen a z3 in circuit city. i'm sure you can also find them on ebay, and other places on the net. I bought my Z1 in circuit city back in 2006 and had them install it. They did a great job installing it. No wires showing at all - very clean! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
garrettoomey Posted July 18, 2008 Report Share Posted July 18, 2008 You may consider looking for a good deal on a z1 or z2 and upgrading to a Z3 hard drive or doing the upgrade yourself with the files available on the forum. You may be able to save about 1/2 the price. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
kirkelli Posted July 18, 2008 Report Share Posted July 18, 2008 Try J&R. They seem to offer the best deal. Also consider they are an authorized dealer meaning you will get the factory warranty. Be carfull, many places such as Newegg will lie to your face saying they are an authrozed dealer but they actualy are not. If in doubt, check Pioneer's web site, they have a list of authorized dealers. Here is J&R's site. www.jr.com or www.jr.com/pioneer/pe/PIO_AVICZ3/ Quote Link to post Share on other sites

wagon b0y Posted July 18, 2008 Author Report Share Posted July 18, 2008 thanks guys, after researching more i think i might get the kenwood dnx8120. seems like a better unit. I've always had pioneer head units though so i don't know if i want to try out kenwoods new one. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

GnatGoSplat Posted July 28, 2008 Report Share Posted July 28, 2008 didn't the FCC just approve the XM / Sirius merging? Yes, they did. Now XM+Sirius can become a fat & happy monopoly! I got my Z2 for $560 shipped on eBay, after PayPal 10% off coupon. I upgraded it to a Z3 for $4.95. I'm very pleased with it for the price I paid. Microsoft Live currently has a 20% off eBay BIN rebate if you use MS Live Search so someone could potentially get an even better price than I did if you can find someone to do BIN around $600-700.
