Question:
I am soon to get a used car, but I am unsure if its stereo will or not. However, I will replace the stereo regardless of its condition.
My question is: What is the best car stereo (brand or type) to get?

There are many good ones. If it has a good sounding one, there is no need to replace it.
I have a friend that installs stereos in high dollar cars and he puts in Blaupunkt.
Like Bob said it all depends. There are many reputable brands out there that create quality products.
It also depends on what kind of stereo do you want. And also how big your radio slot size is in the car you’re going to get.
My suggestion would be go here..

Go to thats site, put in your cars information and they will show you all the stereos that will fit in your car and give you all the specifications about them.. And they have user reviews on their products.
The answer lies in that site, happy shopping.
Oh, and once you find one on there, you can prolly buy it on ebay for a lot lesser in price.
Depends on what you want to do with the headunit.
Power stock speakers…go with bargain brand
Power aftermarket speakers, any pioneer, alpine, blaupunkt, jvc, any of these will do that just fine
Power a system, look into one that has at least 3 rca outputs, so you can use an amp for front speakers, an amp for rear speakers and an amp for subwoofer
Power a competition system, then try to get one without alot of gizmos and internal power ( suggestions: McIntosh, Denon DCT-Z1, Eclipse 7200MKII, Clarion DRZ9255 ) the Clarion has 4 channel out so that you can connect the entire system with this head unit. Most competitors that consider this head unit are looking a the capability of running their entire front stage and a sub(s) and controlling them from the head unit.
I am not going to tell you which one is better, but beware of headunits that don’t have internal power. You will need an amp for them.
It all depends, but generally speaking, a good headunit is needed, speaker, amplifers and subwoofers are addtionally based on your requirements.
For Head unit, Eonon Car DVD player is quite good and not expensive;
For speakers and ampliers, Kenwood, Infinity, Alpine, Kicker are good brands.
