Call Valentine Research at 1 800 331 3030 and ask for a returned V1 and you will get 10% off the retail price of $399. It will be the latest version V1.8 POP2 w/ Euro-mode and 3.826 firmware and that comes with all the accessories and a 1 year warranty.

 

I have had several V1's and still have 2. Recently I met a Z guy that worked at Bust Buy and he hooked me up with a passport x50 for a good price. I had just traded cars and left my hardwired V1 in the old car. I used the passport for about a month before ordering another V1 and now the escort sits in it's pretty case. I did not like it. It was missing a boggy counter and arrows to start with. It was not loud enough to hear over the radio and I never got used to the signal noise. Anyway for me there is not competition. V1 all the way.
