I can relate to that a lot. I removed the Mitsubishi component system (yes, they really made aftermarket radios at one time) that I installed in this car when it was new (my first new car too) for this project. 1984 was the last year of the awful, dual shaft radios in B-bodies, so I bought a loaded, no radio car.
Since I planned to keep my S2000 for more than 15-20 years(if not forever), I figured that $50-100 a year isn't bad for a good stereo. Specially I need good amp and speakers to overcome the car noise of around 80-85 dB on highway.
