Looking for a deal on a radio.

The head unit in the SD crapped out, now I only get two radio stations! I need a cheap head unit, and I don't feel like paying $80 for a new one. I never had luck with used electronics, but I figure I can trust someone on this site.

Anyone have a good used head unit they want to part with? Must have AM/FM and working CD. Also must fit a W126 dash, I think they pretty much all do. Must have all the plugs ect.

Any brand I don't care long as it works.

...yikes...

It's a radio, and not really "that" importaint, but $50 for a new one is gonna get you absolute crap, that will break, die, and/or have horrible reception, if any at all.......


I think you can get a refurbished pioneer deh 1800 for like $80

Heres a refurbished deh1600 for $50 shipped... I'd buy that before a sony POS
ebay # 250047602394

I dont know the seller or anything, but they do have good feedback.

it's kinda ugly though... but whatever
good luck
~Nate

Thanks Nate I'll check it out. Said cars speakers are shot, as well so any head unit will sound better than the 10 year old Sony that just died. I may even yank the decent rear speakers out of the SDL.

What I consider a decent sound system in a W126 costs $500+. I know whatever I buy for $50 is going to sound like crap, but thats ok.

That's a great price on the headunit... What sized speakers do u need? I know dual brand speakers sound good off headunit power ($20-$40 per pair), and so do the cheaper alpine ones...


If you have the time, go to a junkyard, and look at all the upgraded speakers that are sitting in thoose cars. Look at the typical "ricer" cars, they might have left something in there...

Your blown speakers might have shorted out the headunit, especially if it's an older one without a fuse.

even some stock speakers out of a newer car would be better then blown ones...


good luck with ur "system"
~Nate
