New Valentine 1

[bimmeracer]

does anyone know when a new v1 is coming out. i believe the 1.8 is the latest version, but it has been out for a while. also where is the best and cheapest place to buy a new one. i know the website is 400 but is there anywhere cheaper. thanx

i think you have to order V1's directly from valentine or whatever the company's called

i guess you could look on e-bay or somewhere else (like forums) for a used one, but I think that anyone who has bought one likes it soooo much that they would never sell it (me for example) and even when the new versions come out you can send your in and have it updated.

the 1.8s still go for like 20$ cheaper on ebay, usually cant find a smoking deal on em, except for mine, cause it has some cosmetic problems, but works fine. Their like ferraris, hold there value pretty good. I think the next valentine to come out will be calld the v2, completly redesignd and all. not sure, doesnt say anything bout it on website, just heard about it.

damm it, and i just got the v1!!

but i looked and couldnt find good prices, so i decided to go to the valentine website and get it from there.. havent regretted the decision yet, its great


for $10 you save on ebay, go legit from the website.. you never know with ebay

i think a band called KaII will start comming around, which wont work on V1's or passports unless your able to upgrade to it. cops right now use instant-on in some cases which gives you only about a second to react or else your busted, or there's instant-on Laser which would be impossible to get out of if it was aimed at you

[ryder_23]

laser is instant on, its nothing else. Cops use instant on in not as heavy traffic...

the cop from your school is just talkin about laser, but my v1 detects it fine.

[PIGH8TER]

is there another place besides the v1 website that I could buy one?

[ryder_23]

ebay, but wouldnt risk it, just buy from v1, they hold their value, like stated above

Direct from the valentineone site so no worries for those of us who already own.

Continuous Improvement:
Valentine One was new in 1992. Since then, every part inside the magnesium case has been improved, several times for many of them. Continuous improvement keeps Valentine One the top performer; Car and Driver confirms that our margin over the others is wider now than ever.

We'll Upgrade Your Earlier Model:
Since 1994, whenever we've made a performance breakthrough, we've offered it to our past customers in the form of an upgrade. The price varies, depending on the parts required. Included is a one-year warranty, same as new.

No Planned Obsolescence:
Other detector makers want you to throw away your old detector and buy new. Not me. Nine years after the first Valentine One, I'm still working for that customer, because every Valentine One we've ever made can be upgraded to the latest technology.
