I'd just like a cheap bog standard car radio - no CD/whatever, just a

Problem is the vast majority are made for new cars and few would want one
without those. So due to economies of scale a radio only might just cost
more.


Participating Blaupunkt dealers used to offer a supply of refurbished
versions of earlier ICE units. I don't know if they still do them,
but about 3 years ago I obtained a simple Blaupunkt AM/FM radio with a
six month warranty for about £35. Reception was excellent.
