no but i did buy my d-2 for 600dollars. Ill scan the receipt and $300rebate I received on top of my 49% discount

 

they dont but you can special order them. They can get anything from pioneer. Just not a mainstream product

 

where are all these refurbed z1s you speak off on ebay?

and as far as i know, even BB cant get them anymore...at least my friend who worked at BB told me

 

Yes. eBay. --Spike
==============
EDIT: But as per your warning/prediction, they are going fast.

 

this sucks i'm just now looking for one.

 

here is the thing with ebay...

most of the guys listing DONT have it in stock, they are ebay vendors that just get things drop shipped from the distributor...

little are they aware that the dist are out of z1s, i know 90 percent of the ones listed on ebay have no actual product backing htem up, i know cuase i actually asked them...

they are holding out and continuing their listing in the hopes that the "backordered" status from their dist will change, but from waht i gathered at ces, that wont...

 

p.s. i may still be able to get one for someone on the baord, that is fully warrantied, a freind of mine got it from crutchfield a while back and since changed out his car...

but he would want premium for it...full retail, meaning 2500 bucks...he knows wahts going on as well lol

That stinks, I need another one for my Xterra. A D2 or D3 wont cut it after using a Z1 in my Z. Then the Z2 will come out and I'll have to put that in the Z and move the Z1 to the Xterra.

 

or you can be smart and just dl the software updates and "upgrade" your Z1 to a Z2

 

if you guys want a z1 really bad, and wont mind paying retail, i can ask him to see if i can grab it, he owes me a favor so maybe a little bit less, 2300-2400...shipped tax free

just PM me

b I want to make sure I understand ya correctly~ The Z1 doesnt have some legacy feature that make it more favorable than the upcoming Z2 right? They're being grabbed up simply because people want to have that trim of headunit sometime installed before March, so it's a time issue not performance?

 

ill be getting 9 more in I belive the 19th...

 

lucky man justin but then again, you guys always sell in or around retail right?

lancaster: you are right, it doesnt, its just that if you think about it, from now till march (usually a bit later than announced but hopefully not) is a long time for a nation to do with out something like the Z1, considering that the only suitable alternative is the elcipse unit, whcih i personally dont like as much...

This is going to sound crazy, but I came across the AVIC-Z1 for $1424.99 Bargains Unlimited. Anyone ever buy anything from this website??

 

^^ I would be worried about ANY website that claims to have in stock specially @ that price.

 

Aww man.. I should've gotten that last year! I remember seeing them going for less than $1500 in a lot of online stores that I found through pricegrabber. Now the cheapest that I see is over $1600! I guess I'll just wait till the Z2 comes out, then I can get the Z1 for like $1000! In the mean time, I'm burning that money on body kits....

 

^^ don't be so sure as the Z2 will have very lil updates compare to the Z1 which will be upgradeable via cd.

 

also, the whole reason why pioneer is doing this is so they wont have much, if any Z1s left whent he Z2s comeout, so dont count on super discounted Z1s, and if there are, i would be worried about them being fake knockoffs from asia (have heard about these)

b

 

I dunno man, even 2 Circuit Citys near me have it in stock. Though I believe Pioneer isn't sending any more out, and it's just a matter of time before supply is gone.. it seems like they're still readily available.

 

when did CC even carry Z1s? must be different by zone, my good freind who is a head installer at the local CC, says they never even carried Z1s..
