Check into the 9887. That's their "newest" deck, it has time alignment and what not...oh yeah and that Imprint stuff is pretty damn cool. Ever set up a home theater with a mic? Well now you can do that in your car. w00t!

Anyone want to voice some opinions on the 9965? Looks pretty friggin cool to me!! There will be 2 video monitors in the car, and finally finding a headunit from alpine that is a DVD source without a screen and has good internals makes me VERY happy :) I get it for $750 :)

The 9887 is a bit out of my price range that I want to spend right now (Hell, I can afford the Pioneer Z2 if I really wanted it, infact i can get it for less than $900 right now, but I don't want to spend that type of money).

Hmmm Pioneer DEHP490IB retails for right at $199.99. I could get it to you for 10% less than that if you paid for shipping (around %7-8), for an overall saving of like $10. I'm the "Senior Salesman" at Ultimate Electronics locally, so if there's anything that's typical of a higher-end big name retailer that you want, let me know, I'll get ya 10-15% off for "Friends and Family" lol

I can get the DEHP690UB for $199, why would I want to step down to the DEHp490?

I get the Alpine 9885, on my discount, for $195, not sure what you get it for. But, I pay 5% over cost.

I can pick one up for my personal use for 179.15 through in store purchase, or $150 flat through dealer direct pricing. 179.15 is our cost, sounds like you're getting hosed.

Where do you work? The discount setup sounds like Best Buy's.

It is Best Buy if I remember correctly
