Let's hurry up and get someone to start a Radar Detector group buy. Something good... We gotta hurry or else more maxima drivers will be wasting there money on something they could be using for his/her car. I think it's a good investment... if the detector is good.

i dont need one right now but i would say go with the valentine 1 its the best radar detector on the market :)

Much agreed, from what I've read the V1 is the only real way to go. However, it's $300 more than the cheap ones.

yep it is the best ...but i think in the long run it will save you alot of $$$$$... my brother has one in his car and when i take his car out (once in awhile) I speed like a bat out of hell B/C he's got a bad ass car anyways back to the point it's saved my ass many a times ....And i promise you it WORKS . So just invest a little bit more now and save your self some money in the long run ;)

Valentine Ones will NEVER be on sale nor a group buy.
been there. done that.

Mike Valentine says "well. we're the best. if you want a cheaper one, then buy something less superior."

well. im paraphrasing it for him. but that's his jist.

About the valentine, does the radar alert you when there is a patrol car every single time or only when the patrol car has its radar/laser gun on? I have the cobra 9200 voice alrt. It has worked to, but then sometimes i see cops on the side of the fwy and it doesnt detect cops. Thanks:wave: :wave:

when ever they have it on ...Thats the only time or when they hit someone infront or behind you . It really is worth 400 bones it saved me so many times . Like if the cop doesnt have a radar detector or it on it wont pick it up .

but if a cop doesn't have his radar gun on he doesn't know how fast you are going...it's not like cops have something special in their cars that constantly sends out a frequency just so we can pick them up on our detectors...lots of people w/ detectors use it as a false sense of security...you still have to keep your eyes wide open...whenever i am speeding i always check my rearview every few seconds because a cop can always tail you to get your speed rather than radar you

but remember, a cop pulls you over for speeding and sees a radar detecotr, consider it an instant ticket

Make sure you do a stealth install, whatever you get!

:D
