I know the subject doesn't really explain but I didn't have much space.....

I've been looking at this unit for a couple weeks now, especially since I've seen it online anywhere from $950 to $1799 via authorized and unauthorized dealers, as well as in the local stores.

Best Buy and a audio specialty shop were advertising the price as being either $1599 or $1799. I also saw that the Pioneer website had it listed for $1799. I also got more interested in it once I saw that there was a $200 mail in rebate.Good stuff!!!! considering these 2 places are authorized dealers (though BB only has it online).

The price changed to $1200 on the Pioneer website this week!!!

Then you get the $200 rebate making it $1000

I'm pretty sure it's temporary, guessing because of the holiday.

Crutchfield is including all the normal parts and cables, and they just added a rearview camera to the package, totalling, for me anyway, around $1465 before the rebate

Seems like many people are confused about the rebate. Here is my take on it, right from the rebate form...It seems that most local stores that have this unit are authorized dealers, however there is only a handful out of the possible hundreds of online dealers that are authorized. Understanding that, it seems the rebate is for both online and local authorized dealers...

This is line #1 on the rebate page...

1. Purchase a brand new Pioneer AVIC-Z110BT from an Authorized Pioneer or Pioneer Premier Dealer between October 16, 2009, and December 31, 2009.

That note above tells me it doesn't matter whether it's online or local.

Here is the last note on the rebate page...

This mail-in Rebate is valid for Internet purchases only from an Authorized Pioneer Internet Dealer. For a complete list of Authorized Pioneer Internet Dealers, please view the Authorized Pioneer Internet Dealer list.

This note indicates that the online dealer has to be on their authorized dealer list.

I think I may try to get my local dealer to match.

My last check Amazon.com had the unit for $939.95 and free shipping. It is sold by Discounts Jungle. Not sure if they are an authorized dealer. After checking Pioneers on line authorized dealers they all sell the unit for $1599.

you can bet the list of applicable vendors will be short and those who charge on the higher side of the price spectrum.

I think I saw that too yesterday on the Pioneer website. The price dropped to $1200.00. It must have been a mistake. Today the price is listed as $1400.00.

well, crutchfield is on their list and it's going for 1399 - the 200 rebate, making it 1199 plus tax. It includes the wiring and camera, etc.

Does anybody else actually look at the list of authorized dealers other than me? LOL, I can't figure out why people don't know if they are authorized or not. It's clearly stated on their website who is.

That's a great deal!

whats even better, one of the authorized dealer says 50% off from nov 27-29 (off the msrp) making it $900. Subtract the rebate and it only costs $700.

WHAT?!! That's insane. Since you've already did the research, which authorized dealer is this? If you wouldn't mind?

Thank you.

Crutchfield on top of the 1299.99 price with $200.00 rebate & the camera also included the ipod interface cable. pretty good deal.

Just spoke to an al-eds rep on the phone, he confirmed 50% off sale on the z110. But you to pay for installation @ $275.00 whether u install it or not. He said thats the only you can get for 50%, is you have to pay 275.00 for install. I think he was BSing me. Could be just my area (so cal).

i just read more about that sale too Says the install is required and therefore the 50% off is not available onine. All of their stores are in the Los Angeles area I believe.

That blows., however, it's still less than $1000 if they agree to sell it online with the install, and ship it.

I think I am going to buy it this week.

Regardless of anything, i think Crutchfield has the best deal now:

-price drop to $1200 -$200 rebate -free camera ($150 value; read bad reviews on it) -free ipod cable (cdiu50v $50 value). Just my humble opinion

They're actually showing $1200 after the rebate - not before. From their website -

$1,199.99 After $200.00 Price Break and $200.00 Mail-in Rebate

Adding to your cart shows a price of 1399.99

True, it still is a good deal though, either way you look at it.

Has anyone seen this listed on crispdeals.com? They claim they are an authorized dealer but they are not on Pioneer's website. They even have the rebate information up. Any chance Pioneer's website is not updated?

Look for that Authorized dealer logo on their site. I'm going there right now to take a look.

I just purchased my Z110 from 6th Ave through Amazon.com for $933 with free shipping. 6th Ave's website still has it for $1599. I am hoping that Pioneer will honor the rebate. Amazon said it is being shipped from 6th Ave. $733 for a Z110......Sweeeeeet!!!!!

To the OP thanks for the info I had brought my unit from Crutchfield so I contacted them and they gave me a $200 store credit. I guess I will buy the wife a portable GPS.

Thanks, G! I just picked one up too for the same price. I might be getting banged with tax but it still is a great deal for $800 after the rebate. I don't think Pioneer can't honor the rebate. You are really buying it from sixth avenue, amazon is just a portal to their site.

I did the same yesterday. $913 + tax - $200 rebate is too good of a deal to pass up ! Now to get it installed and list my old avic-9dvd.

Nice

Bottom line right now .... I believe all of these Pioneer Navigation units are going to stay cheap because of the MSN Direct fiasco. That just ruins it for me. Unless Pioneer comes out and says they will give us a fw upgrade that replaces MSN Direct with Garmin or some other nav / traffic tool. I think I'm gonna pass on this years model.
