i went to alpine-asia.com/singapore and found Wo Kee Hong is distributor, then from there, its list of dealers. All dealers don't carry IDA-X305 stock.
even though ida-x305 MSRP is US$350, websites from USA, AU, HK, etc put it at around US$220-250. That is about S$350.
one dealer quote me ridiculous price, i can see he wants to make 42% profit.
one dealer, even though listed as authorized dealer, quote me for an export set. I say eh?, I want warranty set, she say don't have.
one dealer, call his supplier. cannot reach, so can't quote me. instead he push me his Kenwood and Sony. also stress that market wants cheap ($1xx, $2xx) 1DIN and expensive ($700 & up) 2DIN LCD (can play DVD kind), no one wants a not-cheap 1DIN HU.
three or four dealers say dun carry stock, need to check with supplier for pricing. they never follow through.
i am so tempted to call up Wo Kee Hong, and ask wth is going on.
