where to purchase highend radar detector at discount?

ssmoked · 06-01-2013, 07:15 PM

I am in the market to purchase a passport 9500ix, passport redline or valentine v1. Just wondering if anyone knows which retailer would sell them at a slight discount, given they are expensive.

Any other referrals that I might of overlooked but should consider?

I am located in Fl so any online stores physically located in Fl would add sales tax.

Thanks!!

I might as well get it new for peace of mind.

looked everywhere and the standard 'discounted' price across all sites are $450. Is there something new coming out to replace this model? The discounted price is offered on the Escort site.

I have a V1 and love it. Saved my @#$ many times.

The best price for the V1 is on their website. Valentine One radar and laser detectors

You can get one for $399.

A great radar detector.

The 9500ci is a jammer system

It has all the bands as any decent radar detector does now, and laser. With "Shifting" ability. Plus its not a window mount, its a fully built in system with 4 total sensors. (3F 1R) A GPS enabled, learning system much like the 9500ix.

Totally worth it though, every cruise I go on, I'll get pings way before others do.

It's def. nice, but I couldn't afford that. So I spend half as much on the 9500ix.

However, I do have an 8500 for sale...
