New Cd Player

[Starensis]

Just bought a Sony CDX-C5000R CD Player off e-bay. Are they any good?

Paid £62, but believe it's a used unit.

Any advise on buying off e-bay, it's my first time using this site!

its a Sony so will never go wrong

he he he - my mate who works with car ice stuff would laugh at that comment.

He's got such a low regard for Sony stuff - he now refuses to stock and sell the stuff ..

Same with JVC and Kenwood. It's all designed for the Saxo brigade who like quoting amount spent and now quality ..

[Ryan1985]

Well Bibbs i've got a Sony TV, a PS2, a Sony hi-fi, a Sony video Recorder and a Sony install and all is good so far!!!

IMO I think ur mates silly for stop stocking Sony, JVC and Kenwood stuff cos they are the best sellers!!!

I've got a load of Sony separates .. and they are fine ..

But he was getting fed up of people returning car kit .. he's of the opinion they are not up to the quality they should be, and about a year behind in technology ..

He now seems to stock and use Alpine, Phonex Gold, JL Audio .. he's heavily into his ICE, think he had a 145 Db 406 for a while as his runabout .. he's now got an MR2 and a A6 .. both crammed with Alpine ..

Is it worth £62??????????

[Bibbs]

probably .. most entry units are about a ton ..
