huh? that doesnt make any sense dude.

mine is 6 months old, the latest and greatest version, in perfect shape, and comes with every single accessory that a brand new unit comes with including the box and manual.....but for 50 bucks less?? what is there to gain by spending the extra 50 bucks??? (an identical brand new V1 is 399.99 plus shipping, by the way)

thats weird side by side for 8000+ miles and i nominated teh 8500 the winner. the 8500 falsed alot more with X but we dont have X here so thats fine because i just shut it off. the 8500 detected longer range than the V1 for me. teh only good thing about teh 8500 was the arrows and i CAN live without.. the V1 is UGLY and huge. if the radar is going off you dont need arrows, you need to slow down.

Once you run with arrows you’ll NEVER want to drive with a BEEP-BEEP-BEEP unit ever again.

V1 > *

(V1 user since 1992)

The only place to buy one NEW is directly from Valentine.
