9885 (which is out soon) will probably go for about $339ish and the 9887 (which will come out around may/june) will be about $479ish
*edit*
hell, if you just want to use the ipod, check THIS out, the IDA-X001. No cd transport, just ipod and usb interface...24bit dac and it DOES NOT use the dac on the ipod, uses the 24 bit...also alpine claims it is the fastest ipod deck by far!

should be around the same price as the 9887

I just got the 9856. It's a pretty good unit. I absolutely LOVE the way it looks at night. Functionality with ipod is top notch (better than the kenwood that I had previously). The only thing you should be aware is that the ipod compatibility is only for 3rd and 4th gen ipods and 1st gen mini's/nano's.

I have the older 9851 (which I am pretty sure is the earlier model to the 9856, as the 9852 only has 1 preout vs. my 3...last time I checked)
Its a good deck, its my first deck so I can't really compare. It skips quite regularly for me...although it could be the cd is scratched.

has anyone looked at the new 9883 or 9885?
i was thinking about getting the 83...what's a good price for that
looking at the listed prices, why are the newer ones cheaper than last years model???
