Why do you want a radar when I already have the Valentine?

[Slim ThuG]

ya...id say the 8500 is really good...its 100 bux less then the v1...only thing the v1 has over it really is the arrows which point where the cops is:thumb:

Not to mention, a multiple target counter and it beeps each time you pick up a new target when muted. A feature that's can't be ignored on the V1. I would say V1 over the 8500.. Not to mention upgradabilities. You can send yours in for an upgrade and get it back with a 1 year warranty for a fee. That versus buying a new detector every time something new come out..

IMO, escort is the BEST radar dectector available.


Valentine radar dectectors are known for there super "LASER" detection capabilities. And they cost $400. As far as radar, Escort is better then Valentine. I should know. I've had about 5 different radar dectectors. IMO, best to worse..........

1) ESCORT

2) BEL

3) Valentine

i own a 8500 and i love it. it picks cops up fro, a very good distance and when new radars come out you can download them onto your 8500. they are suppose to be comming out with a new digital KA band with a lower frequency. maybe they already did, im not sure

[WhiteBoyJohn]

How much does the 8500 cost?

[valkyrie]

8500 is around $270 - $300
and u know what, i have pasport 8500 for 3 years and not even a single ticket
yeah !!!!
valentine is also nice, it has an upgradable software, but to much money on it

chekc this out !!!!!

i hope they fixed the Solo2, the Solo 1 would eat batteries like crazy.

I have the Passport 8500. Works like a charm! I'd recommend you get this radar. Costs an arm and a leg, but it's worth it in the long run.

260 after taxes or shipped is good. it retails for 300. and i got mine for 250 before taxes so 260 is a great deal for a new one.

See??!! Arm and a leg.:P

I got a Bel 985 for X-Mas. It work really good. Saved me 3 times so far. Also, the number of false alarms is very low.

No, $399 on a V1 is an arm and a leg.. Not to mention you can only buy one new from it's website..
