but considering they are 03 decks, he might do very well for himself from an

authorized dealer(and still get the factory warranty).

Ebay is about the only place you will see eclipse decks online, since Eclipse is much

better at keeping their stuff of the net than some companies.

If you want to risk using ebay for the deck, go ahead, but I certainly would not do

it without atleast checking the prices at a local shop(assuming you have an eclipse

dealer near you). You give up quite a bit buying it off ebay.

I just love some of these ebay ads, "You are bidding on an ECLIPSE car audio reciver/head unit. model number is CD8443. this unit is BRAND NEW IN BOX. NOT REFURBISHED, NOT USED, NEVER OPENED. this unit retails for close to 500"....Um, no

it doesn't. Retail price is $419, and a buy it now on ebay for $385...yeah, what a deal lol. The local shop sold one 2 weeks ago for $360, and the guy actually got

a factory warranty. The sad part is, somebody will probably pay $385 to this guy

and have zero warranty.

yes civic i know what you mean. i was new to car audio when i started this thread. since this thread i have put my 15% as a downpayment towards my cd8443 eclipse which will end up being a total of $350 w/ warranty. i'm getting prepared to be amazed at this H/U, I've used it in the shop and it was awesome but i just want to get it installed. i should get my car tomorrow so probably sometime this weekend....hopefully.
