I have a very nice one for sale. It has the upgraded faceplate, so you can see the display, comes with iPhone connecting cable and security code. $275.00 CDN + shipping.

I will take it.

Cheers,

Also, try posting on the 996/986 boards...they came stock in those cars, so it's more likely someone has one sitting in a drawer somewhere that they'll part with.

We should probably give Gray993C4 first refusal since he posed the initial question, don't you think?

Hmm - I briefly thought of that but I also made the first offer with cash in hand - in fact it's already paid for. The OP is a brand new non-paying member, and if you look at his 5 postings, they are all about buying parts. I bet the only reason he is here is to scoop up parts from us paying members. Hopefully he becomes a paying contributing member, that remains to be seen.

If the OP was a paying member, then I would have taken second place in the queue. We had a discussion about purchase etiquette on one of the selling threads - the conclusion was that first cash gets the deal, and members have priority.

He also has other options just as economical not sourcing it from Canada - there are issues with duties and more expensive shipping to the US anyways.

However, if he really objects, and other senior Rennlister's also support it, I will reverse out.

Cheers,

Mike

Fair enough. Thanks Mike

Dumb Question, but sincere so please be kind: with so many options (particularly newer ones) out there, why does a CDR220 still attract owners?

Hey the 220 is good enough to be std. equip on a >$300K Singer.

I think they are in demand because they look very period correct and give you the ability to plug in ipad/mp3, etc. For those of us who want convenience features on the occasions the radio is on and oem look/spec, it's an easy choice.

Mike, I love you and I appreciate all of your contributions to the community, but...

Member or not, 5 posts asking for parts or not (by my count he's only got 1), gray993c4 started a thread asking if anyone had a nice CDR-220. I think a courteous thing to do would be to say "If gray993C4 doesn't take it, I will."

FWIW, I didn't read the entire etiquette thread, but to me this would be the cool thing to do in the future. Just my 2¢.

Sold to Mike, thanks, my wife will deliver it on Tuesday.

I count five with no introduction, no contributions, nothing -> just trolling for stuff so far.

Ok, but I do not agree with a non-member having equal rights as members for for-sale-parts, that does not feel right. We are naturally protected on the "Member for sale section" since non-members cannot access it, but the idea should also extend to all forums. Anyways, it will take another 12 years of contributions before this happens again with me, and I may be 6 feet under by then...

I too am looking if there is another for sale. I'll let Gray993C4 have first crack at it, since he stated the tread...

Start your own thread and then you can get first dibs.
