Pioneer Z2, going to upgrade to Z3 via Garrets drive option. Would you buy new Z2 or refurb (by Pioneer) Z2? Price difference of $145 in $889 for refurb or $1034 for new?

If it's only a $145 price difference, then I'd say go for new. I bought a refurbed Z1 and have had great experiences with it so far, but my deal was at $750 shipped...so that's what drove it home for me.

All said and done (so far), I've got the Z1 w/Z3 update on a 40gig drive, XM tuner, 10.4" drop down monitor and Boyo VTL400 back up cam and I'm at about $900 out of pocket. Not bad in my book.

i have a Z1 i will sell you cheap with ipod and blue tooth 700 plus shipping
