Being so many people have done such a fantastic job of describing to us "stock" guys how well the ES300 CD Changer works in our SC's, the prices of these 7-11 year old changers continues to increase or at least stay at a very expensive leve on the more popular on-line purchasing venues. No cheapie deals anymore that I've found.

With that in mind, can anyone specifically report to how well the REFURBISHED 12-Disc changers work that we can get through our Lexus Dealerships? Do they continue to skip, or has that anti-skip mechanism been improved upon?

For a little extra cash, I can get a refurb 12-disc that fits my car as it was designed - and has a 1-year warranty. But would like to know if they work as reliably as they should.

Thanks
