Cd player problems???????

Ive got an Pioneer cd player inn my car that is like 7 or 8 years old looks and worked fine until like a week ago. I put in the cd and it will go in half way and stop. Then the cd player will bend the cd upward while it is still sticking half way out. Now if I pull the cd out and try to put it back in it is blocked from going in at all untill I press eject. I can push the cd most of the way in but I wont pull the rest of the way in. Now after driving for 15-20 minutes the cd player will work fine until I put another cd in and the cycle starts again. Is my cd player on its way out? can I hopefully fix it somehow?

New cd players will cost you $179 or less for a brand name unit. It'll cost you at least half of that to get your old one fixed.

Youre best bet is to get a new one.If its 7 to 8 years old, its about that time.It sound like the cd mechanism needs to be replaced and that aint cheap.My shop charges close to $200 for cd repairs.I usually recommend to the customer a new one.
