Okay so i'm looking to make that purchase on the AVIC D3 tonight for my Evo (I have the double-din kit incase any1 is wondering).

 

But yea just wanted to know where I can get the best deal online from? Or who has the cheapest yet safest place to order from?

 

I'm located in Long Island, NY.

 

 

Thanks in advance!!!

Crutchfield seems to have the best price with their 15% discount. They are an authorized dealer so you get the 1 year warranty as well.

 

Nice car by the way. I rarely see an MR version of the evo.

Thanks :)

 

 

Btw, what 15% discount is there from crutchfield?

i've got em for $850, i'm in N.J. full warranty

How much for shipping to NY 11738?

 

Are you an authorized vendor? How many people have bought from you?

 

 

Just wanna make sure I'm getting something legit lol..

 

 

 

And lastly, if i order now (do you accept paypal?), when can you have it shipped out by?

 

Let me know.

 

Thanks!

You'll get 15% off when you buy minimum of three Pioneer products (each pioneer item has to be $50 or more), and $20 off by using referral code. You'll get free shipping, 1 year warranty, and great crutchfield's support.

 

Here are the codes for the discount:

15% dicount code: 3A185

Referral Code: p01kv-zsy94-61zk7

 

Referral code is still unused, so you can use it.

 

I ordered D3, Bluetooth kit, sirius radio, and ipod interface cable. The total came out to be around $1050.

 

I think you can't beat this deal.

 

Thanks :)

$30 shipping

 

Yes i am a dealer

 

just started offering them online so just a few so far

 

not sure how paypal works

 

I'm not that far if you want to pick it up

Uh, lots of shops are offering them for $800-$850, and you don't have to buy $100s of dollars of other stuff to get that price like Crapfield. I don't know why people still use them, really. If you want to pay retail, just go to BB or CC.

 

Just pick one up from MisFit or any other local who gets them for invoice. As I understand it, retailer invoice on this unit is as low as $700. I got mine for $800 shipped, and that's not even the best price out there now. Read some of the 'best price' threads that already exist.

people use CC and BB and "Crapfield" so they can have a warranty and peace of mind

Posted Mar 12, 2007 · 20:35 UTC#10

No, really, I get it when people buy from BB/CC: if you're willing to pay for it, you can get a sweet extended warranty, no hassles on it, and those stores are everywhere.

 

But, what good is a warranty from crutchfield in comparison, where you would have to uninstall your unit and mail it off anyway? It could be a better process than that, that's just what I imagine it is. I've never used them as I feel their prices aren't competitive, so I could be out of line here.

 

If I was a user who was afraid to touch my install, then I wouldn't want to have to deal with that for a warranty claim. I'd want to go down the the local shop and drop it off and let them handle it.

my point was if you get it from one of them you have a warranty, if you get it off of these other online sites you dont

I just have to disagree with you there. When I bought my D2 from Crutchfield, I got a great deal on it. It cost me $1200 for the unit, I got free installation because of a promotion Pioneer was running, which, by the way, you only qualified for if you bought the unit from an authorized deal, I got a free AVIC-S1, free installation kit, instructions and the peace of mind knowing that anything I needed to return, Crutchfield would pay for the return shipping and charge me no restocking fee.

 

When I sold my AVIC-S1, it brought the total I paid down to $800, which is the same price they could be found on eBay for, yet I got all those free things AND a complete warranty.

 

Not to mention Crutchfield has the BEST customer service of any company I've ever worked with. They are all knowledgeable and helpful and if I have a problem with my headunit, stereo, basically anything that I can somehow relate to my headunit, they'll give me tech support that available any time I would be working on my car.

 

A month or two later I ordered another thing for my car, and they sent me the wrong harness that I needed to insall the part. I called them, and they overnighted the part for saturday delivery. I got it by 10 am the Sat morning and I was able to install the part that day. I didn't even have to ask. Find me another company that will do that.

 

Sorry to go on a rant... I just seem to have a soft spot for Crutchfield.

Um I get things overnited quite often for my regular customers anyway.

Posted Mar 13, 2007 · 02:22 UTC#15

cntry, why you ordering from cf, side jobs a no no at cc?

Posted Mar 13, 2007 · 02:25 UTC#16

Posted Mar 13, 2007 · 02:30 UTC#17

To all those Crutchfield haters who saved $50 and bought it from an non-authorized Pioneer dealer, and then went on to flame Crutchfield all over this forum, try to beat this deal. AVIC-D3 AND free backup camera ($250) with the backing of an Authorized Dealer. Even if you decide not to keep the backup camera, that's $170 easy on fleebay. That brings the cost of my AVIC-D3 (with free antenna adaptor and wiring harness) down to $680 shipped. Pretty tough to beat...
