anyone have this radio and are happy with it?

ok, the radio in my car is basically shot, it was a cheap radio and had the crap beatten out of it. and it is starting to sound bad, wires and speakers are new. so i am getting the Sony CDX-5510, has anybody been happy with this stereo???? i can get it for $60 from a friend, crutchfield.com sells it for $180 should i buy, i have read reviews and everything, just wondering if anybody had good luck or bad luck with it. thanks

Id rather run stock than put anything Sony in my car, if that gives you an idea

But judging from your sig, coming from Aiwa, I think itll do great for you.

ya, the aiwa was in the car when i got it, all speakers were blown and they were aftermarket pioneers, so the speakers were played hard, i just dont feel like the aiwa puts out like its supposed to. anyone else???

You can get a cheap JVC with mp3 playback for that price, You can get one with 3 preouts (subs, front, and rear) and 12 disk changer capability via JVC J-Link. I have a JVC but am upgrading to the MP3 cd player.

Do not buy it! I have a deck like it and it was the worst thing i'd ever owned. I felt stupid when my friends had alpines and kenwoods and i had this sony that i thought was going to be good. Don't waste your money. Do what i did and buy an eclipse. If you dont want to spend tons of moeny buy the cd 5425 which is what i bought. $199 and it is better then my friends $300 alpine. do yourself a favor and dont waste your time.

hell, for 60 bucks, why not? . as for any product, make SURE it's in proper working condition before you get it though.

Consider why you're friend is selling it for $60 in the first place, and how satisfied he was with it, and what he is running in his car now.

i'm telling you even for $60 bucks don't due it. thats $60 you could save and put towards a decent HU. the sony is nice at first but it soon just gets annoying and at the little inconveniences you notice. that and i had a very noticable problem with it cutting in and out, skipping tracks and so forth.

save your money and get something worth it.

From owning an Aiwa and crap Panasonic deck before this Kenwood I bought, I'd say skip it and scour the org for good deals on quality used H/Us. I bought a nice Kenwood deck on here for $125 shipped and I love it.
