Do they charge sales tax?

Posted May 14, 2010 · 17:45 UTC#3

I don't think they charge sales tax outside of California. Both my orders did not get charged any sales tax to SD

is the z120bt already out in stores yet?

Posted May 15, 2010 · 21:24 UTC#5

No.

Posted May 16, 2010 · 02:19 UTC#6

Ok my mistake. Apparently there in stock at Al & Eds now.

Posted May 16, 2010 · 02:27 UTC#7

Thanks for the update.

Group Buy?

Posted May 19, 2010 · 06:26 UTC#9

This is a group buy price.

Posted May 19, 2010 · 06:26 UTC#10

This is the best price out there.

Posted May 19, 2010 · 17:48 UTC#11

Thank you for this.

 

Just placed the order. This should balance out to the same price as the 110 with the software update.

 

Now to see when it arrives.

Thx for the code, I have been wanting to get a new unit for the longest. I couldn't use it online since for some reason

you can't get it shipped in southern cali but I was able to use it at the Local AL&Eds. Get to pick it up this afternoon.

Will have pix of the install once complete

Posted May 21, 2010 · 12:16 UTC#13

Mine will be here the beginning of next week. Can't wait. Should have it installed by the end of the week if I am lucky.

picked mine up from Al&Eds last night, wont be able to install til next weekend. Still have a few more parts to get.

Can't wait.

How much did the total come out to be with CA tax? I'm also in Southern California and wanted to do the same as you but I didn't have the funds to blow 1200+ on a head unit right now, so I just chose a different route.

Well i went to the one in Hawthorne and it ended up being $1215.74 with tax. Yes, that sucks like crazy but you could also still get the X920BT, same interface just smaller screen for 750 + tax with the code pio250, They are still doing

that one at AL&Eds.

Has anyone tried shipping it to a friends/relative outside CA and then geting shipped back. Just a thought.

Posted May 22, 2010 · 05:07 UTC#18

Ouch think you can get the 120bt for few hundred more. I got mine off ebay for little over 800 and comes with pioneer warranty since guy included original receipt.

Posted May 22, 2010 · 14:35 UTC#19

Well the software upgrade is about 200 dollars. So at the end you get a brand new z120bt, full warranty and new in box. That should be worth the 200 odd dollars one can save going the ebay way.

Posted May 29, 2010 · 07:47 UTC#20

Has anyone used this coupon in the last couple of days?

Posted May 30, 2010 · 10:17 UTC#21

California guys, get it from ebay for $1,085 free shipping from NY and no taxes, same thing goes to other states other than NY, thats the lowest as of this hour Item number: 190400051398

Posted May 30, 2010 · 23:52 UTC#22

No warranty either. So the question is 15 bucks worth 1 year of warranty from Pioneer? Again guys before you jump and buy the unit from ebay make sure that your warranty is valid. my 2 cents IMHO

Posted May 31, 2010 · 00:07 UTC#23

Warranty is never valid if bought on ebay. And I would not trust any ebay seller to a warranty. By the time your unit breaks, you will be outside of ebay/paypal's protection so the seller will not be obligated to help you at all. Buying cheap will likely cost you in the end.

Posted Jun 07, 2010 · 15:13 UTC#24

Coupon still works. I bought mine on Friday 6/4/10.

 

edit: Got an email yesterday that it is currently back ordered and will be available the middle of next week.

I respect that some people are worried about getting screwed on warranty within their first year. However hear me out as I've applied this same thought process to my TV as well as several other large expensive appliances and I have saved hundreds of dollars.

 

1. Find the cheapest price on eBay, Google Shopping, Amazon, or other price comparison. (In this example, I just bought the AVIC-Z120BT for my Dodge Magnum today and the best price I could find was on eBay)

 

2. Before purchasing, verify that you can get an Extended Service Contract (AKA Extended Warranty) through a third party...again I shop the same places but I am searching for an extended warranty for car audio in this example. I have bought RepairMaster warranties before and I have had to use it once. They are pretty cheap insurance usually. In this case I found the RMM51500 (Also known as the A-RMM51500 using Google Shopping.... please notice I'm not telling you who to buy through...I am not advertising, just telling you what I do to save money and get protection.)

 

Here is what I did and what I paid today:

 

I went to Bing.com and searched for something that brought up the eBay 8% cashback banner. (SWI-PS is one such term but many more common terms like Wii and others will bring it up too.)

 

I clicked the Bing.com banner for 8% cashback. (You have to have or create a cashback account at Bing.com for this to work...it is free, just an extra step if you don't already have one. I do.)

 

I went to the Buy-It-Now I wanted, for $1078 from a seller who I have bought other electronics from in the past who also has a very high feedback rating (buy from any seller, just make sure they have an excellent rating.) I completed the purchase and paid with Paypal.

 

I got 8% cashback immediately ($86.24) and my final price, shipped, was $991.76. I bought the 5 year extended warranty for $70 including shipping. Personally, I feel like I got a LOT more value for my money. The $300 off coupon is a great deal, so if you want to go through them please go right ahead and don't feel bad about it! In fact go ahead and get an extended service contract that will cover you for 4 extra years for $70.

 

I just wanted to share what I do. I did this with my TV which has been repaired once. The warranty on the TV cost me $113, the repair would have cost me $450. I bought 3 more RepairMaster extended warranties on the next 3 big ticket purchases... their prices ranged from $60 to $100... so in that ~$330 that I saved on the first repair I am not covered on three more devices. I doubt I'll have another failure, but if I do it is taken care of.

 

Sorry I'm long winded. Sorry this probably has a "salesmans" tone of voice...I didn't really want to rewrite it. Just notice how I only mention brands and places where you can search.

 

I also wanted to point out the 8% Bing ChashBack as that program is ending at the end of July.
