Experiences with DiscountCentralOnline??

I found a unit that I want to buy from the company DiscountCentralOnline. It's a high end Pioneer, and I'm only seeing good reviews on Amazon and eBay, but that doesn't mean anything. The unit is like 40% off of normal retail price, so it makes me a little hesitant.

Anyone have any experiences with these folks?

OR these amazon dealers:

CarAudioDealers

E&B Electronics

A Sales

Moe's AV

OnlineCarStereo

Thanks for the help!

Also, I'm sorry if I posted this in the wrong location...

What model hu? Don't buy from OnlineCarStereo unless you call them first to make sure they have it in stock. They will send you another model without telling you. I've bought from CarAudioDealers and actually had the delivery the next day.

 
I was looking for the Pioneer 6000NEX. They won't send me a counterfeit unit or something would they? It's only realistically like $230 discount, so that seems reasonable for a place with low overhead.

 
normal price is around 650-700$ How much are you getting it for? These just hit the market this year so no reports of counterfeits of this model yet. Actually head units dont get counterfeited often at all. The only thing that normally happens often is stores selling refurbished units as new.

 
Well, all the shops I have found in Seattle are selling it for about $850-900. On Amazon, I'm seeing it for like $660. So, that's a pretty good savings. Where else is there that is reputable to look for stuff like this online that wouldn't sell a refurbished as new?

 
Well, I went ahead and ordered. After looking around at all the other ones, they seemed like the only company that had well established sales records on both amazon and ebay. Although no one answered their phone when I tried calling a couple times. I'll just have to rely on the ebay buyer protection as they are always on the ball.

I ended up using them even though they were $25 more than other options for a $675 price. But the others had fake phone numbers, no verifiable physical address, ect... One store even listed a phone number as theirs (a2zcarstereo) but when I called it, it went to the less recommended onlinecarestereo! Hah! Others couldn't even manage to keep their websites somewhat up to date //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/frown.gif.a3531fa0534503350665a1e957861287.gif

Now I just hope that Pioneer is able to make a firmware update for iOS 8 when that hits in a few days.

I'll update when I get things installed.

 
Well, I ordered through eBay with Discount Central Online, and received my HU five days later. Pioneer AVIC-6000NEX. Just finished installing it today! It's wonderful. But, main point, they were a great seller. I got a little nervous when it hadn't shipped for two days, couldn't get anyone on the phone, and hadn't gotten a response online. But that was just because they were still in the process of moving into their new warehouse. Other than that, everything is great! I'd buy from them again, but I'd still do it through either eBay's protection or Amazon. Better safe than sorry!

 
Snap. The GPS in the unit just failed. Pioneer said they won't touch it since it wasn't from an authorized dealer. We will see how the seller responds through eBay's means to this issue.

Maybe try resetting the Hu and see if it restores the gps. Are there any refurbished stickers in the hu?
