Pioneer leases their vehicles so when the lease is up, they are sold with the gear (if possible).
Typically retailers buy these vehicles to create a store demo vehicle & occasionally people buy them for themselves.

There is probably 25k plus in gear alone in that car. So I can't see him selling it for that much now, it hasn't served it's purpose yet. [img]graemlins/dunno.gif[/img]

Actully if you look a little further there is JBL, Infinity, Sony, Pioneer, PG, Orion and there yes the basic entry level products. Some of the products I cant offer cheaper then FS, they buy a truckload a day. I simply was trying to start a "quality online store" but apparently I have failed.

Look I dont want to come off as an a-hole. I was having a bit of fun about the demo car. I to have been in the industry for close to 15 years. I am doing my best to try and make sure people get deals not ripped off. You mentioned the above amp but didnt mention its on sale for $149.99 and the regular price is $199.99 and my everyday is $168.50. I have a friend that works at head office FS and they do put specials on at the price they buy stuff at as a draw tool. hoping to get you on accessories and so on. The sale is over on the 2nd of June. And you guys know that I am limited to the porducts carried on the net. And if I wasnt "another quality retailer online" then I would have Alpine and kicker and RF and so on. Which are forbidden online. All the products have been ok'ed buy the manufactures and/or the distributor so I dont cause problems. Look I know a lot of people have a hate on for internet sales because of past deals but I tell everyone my location , my phone numbers, email. I am trying to create a ligit business. So if you have any feedback or things you think would help. Throw them at me so I can make it better. Ok I didn't mean for this to be a linching party.
