Default great deal on poineer double din nav, but does this seem sketchy?

This guy is letting go of his pioneer z2 for $170. The thing is, there are no cables or accessories at all. we've been testing back and forth and he says he just lost it when he removed from his car. He has a couple other dbl din pioneers for sale, but he says he selling for his brother. He also gave me his house address for pick up. It's a great deal, but you think its kinda sketchy?

Yup, pull up to his house with this and ask him, "are you sure this is going to work once I buy the cables?".

^^ maybe he just lost the wires [moving/whatever] even more so if he's selling for his bro.

The D2/Z2 is right, price wise, i've seen them sell even cheaper. Nothing sketchy about that.

I think he knows that the stupid harness will be some work/calling around to get the harness from pioneer, so 'fire sale' it 'as-is'. I've done it, lost some components to something, then reduce price as to still move the item and not have it sit. Your call.

offer $50 and meet at a Wal Mart or busy place. If the unit works, GREAT, if not, **** it.

Dont go to his house, get robbed or anything suspecious.

OR, just pass and dont even get involved with drama.

They say, IF its too good to be true, THEN IT PROBABLY IS.

Sketchy cuz he selling 3 units. Supposably cuz he doesn't have a car to put it in. 1 with no wires and all with missing remotes.
