Thanks guys!

so THAT's what TTT means!

..ok back to the post

The original MSRP of that was $150 so I figure they went for about $115 new. It will be really nothing more than a cheap cd player. If there is anything wrong with it, I would pass on it. If it is flawless, I think it would be okay for a first cdplayer or a stock replacement. Don't expect a lot out of it though.

Thanks! I was hoping SOMEONE would answer before tomorrow....errr today now by 28 minutes.

So $75 isnt a bad price for it. It's on ebay for 77 shipping (I just rounded to 75). I could post a link...ehh hell I may as well. As long as no one else decides to step on my toes! lol

There doesnt appear to be antyhing wrong iwth it. It's just to replace the stocker in my 92 ranger. I kinda blew it up. Stupid story...I'll explain if anyone cares to hear it.

Woah hold up. I'm glad you posted that. That unit looks stolen. I would pass.

Clues: No manual, no trim ring, and no cage.

BLAH! I always see the "no face plate" units on there LOL that just SCREAMS stolen!!

well thansk for the input. I guess I'll just go wal*mart myself a cheap ass CD player...you dont know anyone selling one for around 80 bucks do you? nothin fancy. Just a CD player that works well. I would LIKE for it to have a set of preouts for my sub/amp but that's optional...i can use the line/level I've got now.

man, just save up a little while longer and get a decent cd player. I got a pretty good pioneer deck for $169, and then had them install it (pioneer DEH-4700) the only thing i don't like about it is it doesn't have subwoofer preouts.

That unit is not stolen.

Ive seen auctions like this before. Many of them are sent in for warranty repair and its deemed not worth the money to fix, so they ship a new one. What your seeing here is the one that wasnt worth fixing but someone did.

If you got a plan on how to mount it securely go for it.

It is better to save up a bit and buy nicer. But if this is what you want go for it.

i think one of the best bang for the buck cdplayers are the panasonic MXE just about all of them come with a sub out and a front and anything over the 200 dollar mark or even the 175 mark retail has 3 sets of rca's and alot of those have 5volts too. and they have about every option you would want too.
