how much do local car stereo places charge to install a stereo?

I'll thinking about buying a used car stereo off Ebay

1. About $50-75, I think

That includes a wiring harness. But it cost me over $150 to have one put in a Taurus, because they had to replace the whole round console, which had the heater controls and everything else on it.

2. thats about right...

we paid 59.99 to have our cd player installed...our was an 2000 intrepid at the time.

3. Depends on if you're one of those shitbag fucks who needs a boom car

or if you are a human being who just wants a stereo in his car.

If just a regular stereo, one that isn't designed to announce your unholy and totally unneccessary presence to the world, you can do it for under $100. Possibly, depending on how easy the thing is to install based on its configuration and the wiring and speaker placement potential already in the car.

4. Or should I risk it at Best Buy?

They claim its free for units over $100

5. That's what I'd do.

They guarantee the work, and you can get a nice one for about 100 bucks.
