Going to pick it up from AVU eh? I just got their flyer today. I have the 7894, their older MP3 deck, I have been quite happy with it, although it had a bit of trouble ejecting a disc, on 2 occasions. That's why I got the super extended warranty, four years. Mine has the flip down face, looks like the 9807 is non-flip down, which I would prefer, personally. The Bass Engine features are nice, as is sub level, crossover adjustability, phase, etc. Pretty solid deck, imo.

Well.. I went in today.. filled out the forum to see if I would get approved for financing.. about 20 minutes later the guy comes back and says "I got some bad news" I was like crap.. I guess I'm not getting this stuff just yet.. Then he was like you officially now have credit.. hehe..
I got approved for $2500.. $1250 of that is a VISA card.. The other half I can only use at AVU..
So I bought the Alpine deck.. then I was browsing around and saw that they had a refurbished Alpine 7874 for $197.. so what do I do.. I throw that in too for my parents (they have been wanting a cd player for their car for a long time already)
Total bill $687 after taxes and I also got the extended warranty on my deck for a total of 5 years.
My monthly payments are $28.63.
So I'm pretty happy right now.. I am gonna talk to my parents and figure out when they want their deck installed.. hehe

oh yah and another funny thing happened.. I ws just chilling waiting to see if I was approved and this old guy came in and started to look at decks.. he obviously didnt really know what to look for so I started to talk to him. He had to choose between the Pioneer deck and a Sony deck... I told him lower line Sony's were crap and he asked me what he thought he should get. So I found out the deck was a christmas present for his daughter so I looked and saw a Pioneer mp3 deck for $270 and I suggested that one.. I explained to him what everything did. The guy was like cool.. I'll take it.. hehe. so my sales guy came over to check up on me and I told him that the old guy wanted to buy that deck.. haha
not too bad I must say..
buy 2 decks and sell one for the store.. he hooked me up with free install for my parents deck.. hehe

I should have actually bought the black one now that I think about it.. Black would be easier to make it look like it is supposed to be there..

That's why I've never liked silver, too obivous you have something. Good buy with the Decks by the way [img]graemlins/thumb.gif[/img] My next deck will also be an Alpine.
