in car minidisc players. - ladas are slow
i am trying to sell my in-car minidisc player, but i dont know how much to charge, i bought it for £450 four months ago, so i was wondering about £300 what does anybody think.

p.s
the reason i am selling it is because its too powerful for the car (the doors start to shake when the radios on)
Re: in car minidisc players. - ladas are slow
if the man with the reliant supervan III is looking, i would swap the minidisc player for his reliant :-)

You have a minidisc player in a Lada?

No, he doesn't.

Since Minidisc is something of an aquired taste, I think you'll have trouble selling for £300, even though you paid £450 for it (and that's a lot!). The main drawback is you have to have a minidisc recorder as well. I think you'll struggle to get £200 for it.

Compare with the Kenwood MP3 CD/radio I bought recently for £250. Plays CDs and MP3 encoded CDs. I have five CDs in the car, each holding between eight and eleven albums. Quality is superb, doesn't skip. If you have a PC with a CD writer, I can't recommend this product highly enough.

excessive road noise - mr d r bradshaw
which tyres should i replace my 205/55zr x 15 michelins to reduce road noise on a seat toledo V5
Re: excessive road noise - Andy P
Have a read of www.tyres-online.co.uk/technology/design.asp

Then. talk to a specialist tyre dealer (not one of the usual cowboy outfits like Kwik-Fit) for a recommendation.

yes i do, its a sony minidisc player, i wanted something decent (it was either this or a cd-autochanger, and i wish i had bought the cd system instead)

If I still had my Reliant Supervan 111 I would gladly swap it for your minidisc, or even your Crystal Radio, but it long ago went to Fiberglass Heaven.
Re: in car minidisc players. - ladas are slow
the person in romford that has a supervan still has it, as i rang him, he said that he didnt really want to sell it, but if the price was right then he might sell.

Do you record your CD's yourself?

I have a kenwood headunit and I have been looking at the MP3 unit.

Why doesnt the top of the range headunit play MP3's aswell? surely it should do everything??

LAS, If the headunit is too powerful for the car and its making the doors rattle, use that feature found on most stereos called the 'volume control', and turn it to a lower setting.

Just habit, I imagine in a Lada, just as in an Austin 7, you are on full noise all the time, to get anywhere at all.
Re: in car minidisc players. - ladas are slow
even on the lowest setting the car starts to shake, plus it seems to drain the battery.
Re: in car minidisc players. - Tomo
Do not answer that!
Re: in car minidisc players. - Phil
hahaha. Lada alternator obviously not up to the job! LAS - sell the system for whatever you can and buy a proper car. Maybe a Golf or something with street cred. Oh - and don't waste it on a Delboy van.

Yes, go for it.
When you turn up here called "golfs are cool," we'll be very happy.
