i found the passport 8500 for 300 but i may end up going to the V1....i have about 10 days left to decide

 

I, have the 8500 works great. But it also requires you paying attention because, neither if fool proof. Both will increase your ability to avoid a ticket. Artie

 

Excellent choice...drive smart!

 

Excellant choice.. I have two. The radar source directional arrows is what separates the men from the boys..

 

Works great when there are several vehicles on the road. Not so great when you're the only one. If it goes off and nobody else is on the road, you're more or less caught, unless the cop has the radar on all the time.

Love mine though, has saved me plenty a times.

 

I've been looking on ebay for a used one....

 

ya i wastrying to get a used one but they were all going for around 375....hell for another 25 bucks you can get it brand new...at least it has good resale

 

Thats what I was thinking too...

 

I picked up a V1 about 2 weeks ago. I've actually been suprised at the number of times it picks up radar that isn't instant on. I've only been hit with that once to date. I think that it depends on the city, county or state as to which device they use.

 

So is there anywhere to buy one of these beasts new other than https://store.valentine1.com

No, they only sell direct.

 

I have not used this source but here is a less expensive Passport 8500:
