FS: Valentine One Radar Detector

For sale is my Valentine One radar detector. $350 shipped.

Includes: windshield mount + one extra windshield mount; visor mount; lighter adapter; power cord, coiled; power cord, straight; direct-wire power adapter; owner's manual; spare suction cups; spare fuse.

I will also throw in an Add-A-Fuse for those interested in hardwiring it to their fusebox.

Stock Photo:


Status Report on Your Valentine One
Serial Number 9391780609

V1 Description: Radar circuitry known in-house as V1.8. This is our latest and best performer on both radar and laser with just one exception—it lacks POP Protection. Of interest to those who drive in Europe, the latest V1 version also has a Euro Mode.

Upgrade Recommendation: You have a sophisticated security system, and we’re cautious about recommending an Upgrade. If you believe in keeping up with technology, particularly if the POP Mode is being used in your area, then go ahead. V1’s approach to the POP problem is superior to all others in the industry. If you drive in Europe, you will appreciate our new Euro Mode which improves protection on photo radar as it is used in the E.U.

Honestly, I need mod money. With this money, I'm either putting it towards a DSLR, a new set of wheels, or painting my roof black.

By all means, this radar detector is freakin' fantastic. Arguably one of the best ones ever made, but I'm only 17....I shouldn't be speeding anyways.

Lol. Im 19. Can you do me a favor and hold it for me til tomorrow night? I need to check my bank statement and I dont have online banking. If I have the cash I will get it.

If anyone else sees this, will I need POP in LA? I checked on the V1 site and thats the only thing that this unit is missing.

Sure, I'll give you a 24-hour 'DIBS'. And no, you won't need POP in LA. The biggest threats you need to worry about are laser (luckily the v1 is the best laser detector on the market) and instant-on radar. Many people with POP often turn it off as it creates a lot of false alerts and is even speculated to reduce the overall detection range of the unit.

Yoou know what... I'll regret it if I dont get it. Even if I dont have the money, I'll barrow it from my parents. This is my only thing, I dont have a paypal (which I assume is how you want payment) but my friend does. He normally buys my stuff on eBay and he likes it cause it helps his feedback. Lol. I give you my word that I will buy it from you, but you have to give me til wednsday afternoon (I have finals til tuesday night). Just PM or email me the paypal info that I need.

Its up to you if you want to sell it before then, I cant tell you what to do, and you dont have to trust me if you dont want. But I give you my word that I will send payment on Wednsday. Sounds good?

My dumbass doesnt know a thing about cars. If I tried I can gaurantee you that the repair costs would cost at least twice as much as a cheap hardwiring cost. Lol
