mrt2 Posted December 24, 2009 Report Share Posted December 24, 2009 Ok I'm sold on this unit but I'd like to find the cheapest place to get one of these. You guys have any suggestions for getting one of these at the cheapest price possible? Think I could find it for sub $1k? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
VBLUE42 Posted December 24, 2009 Report Share Posted December 24, 2009 Probably but just keep in mind with cheap comes risk and likely no warranty. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Pogigreg Posted December 24, 2009 Report Share Posted December 24, 2009 There is the MFG 1 year warranty. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
VBLUE42 Posted December 24, 2009 Report Share Posted December 24, 2009 Only on a new unit from an authorized dealer. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Pogigreg Posted December 24, 2009 Report Share Posted December 24, 2009 Untrue. Pioneer will repair a defective unit if it still has the MFG warranty left. Every Avic I've purchased up to this point has had some kind of problem, and it had some kind of MFG warranty left. Pioneer in Long Beach has repaired every one.

Â Ok The fact that every Pioneer unit you've owned has had an issue doesn't give me much confidence.... Quote Link to post Share on other sites
mrt2 Posted December 24, 2009 Author Report Share Posted December 24, 2009 Another thing that is giving me second thoughts is the fact that there is not a way to get into test mode yet so there's really no hacking or modding that can be done for this. I was draw to the Pioneer series after initially seeing the F series and how moddable it was and then I waited because I knew the X series was going to be released... Now before I'm about to buy, I take a look at the Z series and some videos that have really sold me... So you guys are happy with your z110BT and wouldn't trade it off for any other unit?

Â If that is true then consider yourself lucky. Pioneer states that they only honor the MF warranty if it is purchased from an authorized dealer or reseller. They deny warranty claims all the time to people that purchased from unauthorized dealers. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Â That only makes sense if all the units you buy are from questionable sources which is exactly why I caution buying "cheap". A lot of the unauthorized dealers often sell refurbs as new units or will sell a new unit to you knowing that the warranty is already void because they are not a dealer. There is almost always a price for buying "cheap" As for all of his units being defective, that is certainly the exception and I wouldn't worry about it. Nearly all of the people that own 110's on this forum seem to be very happy with our units. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
mrt2 Posted December 28, 2009 Author Report Share Posted December 28, 2009 So what's the cheapest authorized dealer I can find? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
VBLUE42 Posted December 28, 2009 Report Share Posted December 28, 2009 Right now I believe its Car Toys through Amazon. Also you might want to try a Google search. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
chad711 Posted December 29, 2009 Report Share Posted December 29, 2009 I got mine from a authorized dealer for $949 plus the rebate so after rebate $750. Â I am not sure if this is something he will do every time. From his email he made it sound like the price match he did usually wouldn't be honored. With that said I do not want to spam his website so he doesn't get nail with a bunch of people asking for it. I'll tell you this and you can do the homework! Â It's a authorized online dealer that has a price match form you can fill out online. I used newegg's pricing on this to match. Â Good luck! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
d94 Posted December 29, 2009 Report Share Posted December 29, 2009 i was debating doing the rebate and buying new..but when a used one popped up on ebay for $600 shipped after MS cashback i couldnt resist Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Pogigreg Posted December 29, 2009 Report Share Posted December 29, 2009 I paid for $1095 for mine from an authorized Pioneer dealer with a receipt. I myself would not be able to resist that price as well. The thing I would worry about is if that unit had a problem, Pioneer will charge a grip for repair. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
vitaminb6 Posted January 6, 2010 Report Share Posted January 6, 2010 I got mine through Amazon (order fulfilled by AudioOnline) delivered to my door for under $900. This was mid December - looks like they can had on Amazon for about $50 more right now. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
