No Fit? What the heck!

Average install for a deck at a shop is around $45 on up
Average install for a pair of speakers (basic drop in) at a shop is around $30 on up

Street price for deck install is around $20-30
Street price install for speakers is around $10-15

Street prices are based on what I have seen and heard of in my own experiences.

Crutchfield gives you very good instructions on how to replace the radio so if you're decent at all with a set of tools, I'd try it myself. I did our '99 Sebring by myself with no problems (deck and 4 speakers).

or you can do it yourself for the price of about 1 hour(depends on radio) and the supplies needed

I say do it yourself...but even if you decide not too... Best Buy and Circuit City include the install (The Labor At Least... not the dash kit etc...) in the price.
What this guy said about the sony ^^^^^ just another reason to buy the warranty.
Oh, and buy the way... I resent being called "brainwashed..." Just because you disagree doesn't mean you have to be an asshole.

It wasn't against you per say.. just stating a fact. I was the same way when I worked for them and when I left.... It's the fact that they push you so much to sell them, you believe that you NEED it. You don't.

Manufacturer warranty is good enough in most cases. I will CONSIDER buying an extended warranty on 3 occasions:

1) In-home service (not applicable here)
2) Less than 20% of the cost of the unit
3) Lemon protection

Did I buy a PSP on my Pioneer 6700... no. I bought it from Crutchfield with:

1) no taxes
2) free shipping
3) free harness
4) free dash kit
5) free install sheets
6) free customer service to help me install if I got snagged.

You have a P6700MP? Me too... I love it. And actually I hated working at Best Buy... I just liked actually installing stuff. I just think that a Warranty will pay itself off... I bought one for my P6700MP.

Yes sir. Great radio
