Valentine 1 Radar Detector - Subaru Enthusiasts Car Club of the Sierras

I just bought it a month ago and it works great, but my girlfriend hates it. I bought it for $500 but will sell it for $400, or best offer.

Kevin M · 2009-02-19, 08:55 AM

Does she hate the V1, or does she hate how you drive now that you have it?

fuente · 2009-02-19, 09:18 AM

She just hates the noise it makes when you are just driving around town. She likes it when I drive fast, so that isnt the problem. I couldnt be with a girl that hated fast cars.

cody · 2009-02-19, 09:24 AM

Man that's super tempting. I can't blow any more frickin' money this month though.

Dean · 2009-02-19, 09:28 AM

You can turn off X band which will resolve most of the around town stuff.

Also if you didn't know, you can turn down the "muted" volume with the rear knob and then when you do want it to be quieter, you just hit the button.

WRXlerate · 2009-03-06, 10:32 AM

That is damn tempting! Pm me your phone# so I can give you a call. Maybe we can work something out. I love the V1.

sti deede · 2009-03-09, 08:06 AM

The Valentine1's are listed as $399 on their website. What is difference between the one that your selling and the one online?

Valentine1's website is blocked by websense at IGT as "illegal or questionable". WTF?

I was definitely going for the "best offer", but he won't even pm back...

100_Percent_Juice · 2009-03-09, 06:07 PM

fuente has not been online since he posted this.

cody · 2009-03-09, 08:06 PM

Wha?

GusGus91 · 2009-03-10, 03:22 PM

Maybe he's in jail or something. haha.

WRXlerate · 2009-03-10, 08:48 PM

It is a little odd that he would list something for sale, then not respond. Maybe his girlfriend told him to keep it??

100_Percent_Juice · 2009-03-10, 09:25 PM

Or maybe not everyone is a seccs whore.

cody · 2009-03-11, 07:10 AM

Wha?

fuente · 2009-03-17, 08:08 AM

Hey all, sorry for ignoring all of the messages. Been really busy and forgot about the V1 for sale. Anyway, I think that I actually had to pay about $450 for the V1 (they charge a bunch for shipping) so I will sell it for $350, or best offer.

My girlfriend still hates it.

sti deede · 2009-03-17, 09:43 AM

I have a couple of co-workers that might be interested. I'll post up if they decide.

WRXlerate · 2009-03-17, 10:41 AM

It will probably be gone before then

sti deede · 2009-03-17, 11:18 AM

yeah probably. Oh well.

WRXlerate · 2009-03-18, 07:52 PM

It's mine now.

100_Percent_Juice · 2009-03-18, 08:12 PM

So are you going to resell it?

WRXlerate · 2009-03-19, 01:26 PM

not anytime soon

Jcjentz · 2009-03-20, 02:32 PM

The V1 basically eats a whistler for breakfast as far as sensitivity and features go.

There are very few detectors better than a V1, and they all cost the same or more, and only the V1 has the directional arrows and bogey counter that make it so useful.
