bazza_g Posted March 1, 2005 Report Share Posted March 1, 2005 I dropped into Halfords Reading at lunchtime today to have a look for a headunit to replace the woeful Blaupunkt San Remo factory fit jobby. As fitting an amp into a VXT is nothing short of impossible I was looking for the most powerful unit in the shop which turned out to be quite a nice Pioneer DEH-P80MP - looks the part, good sound, 4x60 output, MP3/WMA/CD etc. Halfords were asking £449.99 - which I thought was a bit pricey so I called a mate to check Kelcoo, good job I did as Car Audio Direct are selling the same one for £269.99 !! Needless to say, I told the salesguy who was pretty embarassed especially as they couldn't price match it as it wasn't a 'real shop' ... the moral of the story - it pays to shop around Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
activa Posted March 1, 2005 Report Share Posted March 1, 2005 With stuff like ICE Halfords are pricey indeed. Guess they have to buy it in and if other places are selling cheaper they get less sales and so have to charge more and so on..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
