Valentine V1 radar detector for sale

Recommended Posts

hiya!

I have a Valentine V1 for sale that I no longer need. There is absolutely nothing wrong with it. I purchased it new about a couple years or so ago.

Lately, I've been turning into an old bastard, and don't speed anywhere anymore. I just don't care to. So, my trusty radar detector is for sale.

Price is $300 firm.

I bought mine new DIRECTLY from Valentine Research. It is not gray market.

I guess I could post pictures, but there is basically no wear and tear since it's just been mounted to my mirror for the entire time i've had it. I have all the original accessories and box and wires, etc.

Thanks!

i only have like... 4 "real" bikes. the others are scooter, dirt bike (barely mine, friend is making payments lol), and a pitbike type of thing. 4 is not unreasonable, is it? i'm trying to sell the ape and the duc at some point. maybe i'll collect watches instead, they take up less space.

Still firm on $350?

Ever get a chance to compare to the escort/passport?

i think the price is pretty good, unless prices on these have come down a lot. i haven't looked in a while. if you have a number in mind, feel free to pm me.

comparison-wise, the escort/Beltronic passport 8500 x50/RX65 are nice and maybe even possibly comparable in terms of performance, but reliability wise... I don't think they stand up. before i knew better, i had purchased a bunch of passport 8500's and RX65's for my family and they started failing one after the other (the dreaded "Service Required" or whatever message that keeps popping up, and the random and frequent laser alerts). This has kinda put me off the escort/bel products.

Sure, you can send them in for like $65 or something, but my brother in law has had to send in his about 4 times already and is getting ready to send it in again. My V1 has been flawless since day one. If I drove crazy like any more, i'd keep it, but I just drive like a pansy. and my commute to my shop is less than 3 miles.

anyway, post up if you have any more questions.

loool i completely forgot about this thing. i found it while going through all the stuff i hadn't moved from the old house yet.

OR price: $300 firm (I have it listed on CL for 325 or something). shipping is extra (can't be more than $10 though, i'd imagine). I'm NE of cleveland, so we can meet sometime in cbus or whatever.
