Buy new stereo or repair old one

I bought a Pioneer HU (DEH2300) almost a year ago. The source button is starting to give me problems. I have to push it in really hard or push it like 5 or 6 times before I can switch between the radio and cd player. I went to the only Pioneer service center where I live, and they said that they could fix it for free (still under warranty), but it would be at least 10 business days before they can even look at it. This means that I'm probably looking at at least 3 weeks at a minimum with no car stereo. The HU cost me like $170, so should I just go buy another HU or get this one fixed?

Holy Sh#@! You're right. Man, I feel like a dumb[IMG]i/expressions/moon.gif[/IMG]. I had thought about selling it, but good thing I still have it. Although, on the downside, I was kind of looking forward to buying a new stereo. However, free is free. Decisions, decisions.......
