Also, anyone know any deal goin on anywhere else?
So that i can Price Match with Best Buy?


I found 2 sites..

1 site www.abt.com has it for $469.00
And cnet is showing amazon has it for $447.00 which i think is sweet..

I think Best Buy will only price match brick and mortar (not internet) stores within 25 miles.

UPDATE:

Picked it up yesterday afternoon. I didnt expect it to be so long in size... (wtf, that sounds horrible lol)
After partying till 2 i made a 100 Mile roadtrip and i had some cops hitting me with KA & K and i had enough time to slow down but i was actually doing the speed limit lol.

Bestbuy won't match on the Escort if it's under 450.00 and even at that time it might be a hassle...

They price matched it to the abt.com site to $469.00 then i used my $210 reward certificates so WITH tax, it cost me $280. Without tax would be around $250, so half price.

That's great. Show up when you mount it. I'd answer your mute button question if I knew the answer. Sorry.

Yea,, i noticed that, and i fixed it by putting the clip back a little bit more so now it's straight. I was actually wondering myself by it was leaning down but i figured it out a little bit later.
I'll get a pic in a bit.
