Guys, I found the AVIC-Z1 for $1369 + $50 Shpping = $1419.
I think is a great deal and I should mention it. Didn't find any deal pots so i though this will be the best place.

and according to their website if you order by phone TODAY you get another $25 off

 

wow, only if i could justify that much for that kind of equipment. great deal if you've been looking for something like this though. wow.

 

That is a good price, better than most ebay prices...If this is not a pricing mistake, I would make sure the online store is legit.

 

Did a quick search...I would definitely be careful with these guys

I have bought from them before without any issues, they seen to be a small online retailer, but usually have great deals. I also have to said that I use American express, they are listed under the fraud protection Program. so AMEX will cover me if any problem.

 

That's close to dealer cost ... be weary of this group.

I'll pay the extra $50 to $100 and buy from someone I don't have to "hope" my money doesn't get locked up in a dispute for 3 months.

 

General Information if anyone is still looking at this deal. I got my AVIC-Z1 today, No problems. They upgrade me to a 3 Day Shipping.

Some Pics:

 

actually thats pretty much below dealer cost by almost 200 bucks

Yeah way below dealer cost.. Sounds to me like its either stolen or refurb.. if it sounds to good to be true its to good to be true

 

Boxes inside were close with Pioneer seal, so it's nor refurb. at lease my unit is Brand new. now about the stolen there is not much i could say there bacause there isn;t really a away to tell.

 

well, maybge its those really well done copies from china and southeast asia

i have seen quite a few of those, stuff that pretty much look identical...

i assume you have powered yours on arleady? and verified everyhtying works?

that's a great deal...i was just at al & eds today and they quoted 2200! Wow I would be a bit leary of this

 

It's legit. These types of deals are not uncommon. I bought my N2 new for 1200 back when retailers were trying to pawn them for 1800+...

 

the next cheapest price above this one i've see at 6th Avenue Electronics for like $1500.... they're a local bricks & mortar chain of 10-12 electronics stores in NJ and they carry alot of high end home audio gear, etc and i've bought alot fof stuff for my house from them... i'm probably going to end up getting a Z1 from them.

if you goto avic411.com they've been discussing the best places to find good deals on this headunit.

 

16psibrick, your calls are always right on the money, thats about 200 less than cost. Gonna have to hassle my pioneer rep next time I see him. If your hungry for the best headunit out there (my opinion cause I have one) you better jump on this sweet deal

 

just as bing said, this is well below dealer cost. be very careful when dealing with places like this. if its too good to be true it probably is.

 

It's still more than employee price :P

 

oh really jim?!? hmmmm i might be hassling ou for one if i ever get rid of my D1... j/k

btw- they finally found it and will be recieveing tomorrow jim! the wheels that is! thank you so much for everything, from the great deal to the great support and help when UPS "couldnt locate" the wheels!

 

haha ... sorry Alex ... I don't work for Pioneer anymore

Glad to see the wheels are "found" again ... I honestly can't believe UPS is stupid enough to lose something insured for that much.
