Well.....yeah.

Which is why you split it into 17 (not 18) payments and not risk it at all.

For 1700, you can get so much more than what you'd get at Best Buy...

all the good shops I know have gone out of business, and those are the ones that really know what they are talking about and are willing to spend hours explaining things to their customers. I used to be one of their customers, and I learned a lot from them

However, the bad economy, retirement, and the trend towards "as long as it's cheap and works" have killed most fo them, since they only rely on walk in customers and base their advertisement with "word of mouth".

And... most shops that carry high end items(authorized dealer) do not offer loans, because most of the customers that ask for loans do not qualify...

most of those mom and pap shops are independent so if their not on the floor, most of them are installing. i know what your talking about because i work at best buy and it seems to be the samae way. try going to a best buy and walking over to the install place instead of the showroom. we know more then the sales floor and will give you the information you are looking for!
do you work at the best buy in brentwood?
