I know most companies now a days do not have dealers online, but I know that eclipse is coming out with a new AVN unit called the 5495 which has a 30 gb hard drive, 20 gigs for music, 10 for Navi, double din. I love this unit, but I don't wanna pay retail for it.

Do any of you guys know a place that sells eclipse for closer to cost, or any of you have a buddy that works someplace that can get eclipse stuff?

Thanks

No such thing as an Eclipse online dealer. Even if there is, they don't last very long as Eclipse does not allow online sales.

No actually they do not, regardless of what they might say. Eclipse makes us dealers sign a dealer agreement that 100% prohibits us from selling Eclipse on-line. If a place like this one above has the product listed and does sell it, they are purchasing it from an authorized dealer and reselling it to the purchaser. No warranty and no theft replacement from Eclipse. Is it worth it? NO it is not.

Forbidden is right about Woofersetc. They do not offer a manufacturer's warranty. You'll be stuck dealing directly with them - not Eclipse, or any other company they deal with for that matter.

Whether it is worth it, in my opinion, is a rather personal value call. With MOST manufacturers I'd say no, and I simply refuse to pay anywhere over 15-20% more for sub-$1000 authorized product. With Eclipse's excellent 3-year warranty, theft services, and fantastic customer service for people that buy authorized, however, I'd say extra money spent retail is well worth it. My Eclipse deck is the one component in my system that I didn't hesitate paying an authorized dealer for.

Well I got my Eclipse DA7232 from Woofersetc and Eclipse shipped it to me... Most products fail in the first 30 days anyway and Woofersetc will back the product for a full year.. If you want to pay twice as much then buy from a dealer go but I have learned years ago that buying from a dealer is not always the best thing to do unless you like giving your money away.. I paid $850 after negotiating with Woofersetc versus twice that from a dealer....If you buy from a dealer they have to install it before you get the Eclipse warranty.. No thank you!!

The CD3434 will has all you need as well. The CD3424 sacrifices the remote....oh darn...the volume knob is just so far away.
