WTB: Radar detector

[jjs 60]

I'm after a radar detector. Looking for a Valentine 1, Bel RX65 / STI, Escort Passport X50 or similar...

Please PM me if you have one you are looking to sell.

Cheers

There is a lot of opinions out there but I would suggest you narrow your range down to V1 and the Escort 9500i. I have just sold both of these types on TMe as my car needed a remote system due to issues with the front windscreen interference on signal. I was loyal to V1 due to it coming out on top of tests but the 9500i I bought from fleabay was brilliant. The GPS functionality and the fact it "learnt" the false signals and stored them definitely had the thumbs up.

If no member offers you something, bring it in yourself from fleabay and save some bucks compared to the TMe prices out there.

Ron,

why not the Bel Sti? It seems to be the most commonly compared detector to v1 on most magazine and online reviews.

PMed regarding my Bel STI for sale - the Valentine is ONLY good because of the direction arrows, its not a bad detector but from what I have been reading, the Bel STI is much better.

+ because I bought mine from a proper dealership I have a warranty on it (which I would be happy to work with the new owner, as long as the warranty is still valid). DO NOT buy from trademe or similar..I did with my old detector and one day it stopped working. guess what I could do? nothing! it really pisses me off that people sell expensive electronic goods and dont back them up - I would never buy anything electronic from trademe unless it was super super cheap

Having done a lot of research on what is best etc, the web site preferred by overseas BMW forums in the US for independant research is Guys of Lindar. Check out this link and you will see where the Sti sits ...

I have a Bel STI and it's the most flipping awesome radar detector. Tried a V1, its reputation is dated.

I wouldn't be willing to spend any major coin on radar detectors at the moment with the government thinking of or actually doing (not sure how far they have gotten with this yet) of making Radar detectors illegal.

I remember hearing about it from several people and found an article about it on the net here:

I use just a standard Uniden unit, has worked a treat (about 2 years old) & has saved me some coins

I agree but there are 2 detectors which are stealth to the Radar Detector Dectectors - RDD for short. The Bel STi Driver and the Escort 9500ci are invisible to the Police RDD units.
