Valentine 1

Valentine 1 radar detector for sale. Lightly used. Don't really use it much anymore.

Anyone interested? Make me an offer.

When was it purchased? Didn't the technology keep changing over the years?

Can't you send them back for updating? I keep meaning to look into it.

Mine has gone goofy and the F&R arrows are alerting backwards.

I think you can, but if I am correctly recalling what I may or may have actually read years ago it's on the expensive side.

FWIW, my Passport 9500ix saved me twice on the way to Toledo a couple weeks ago. If I'd relied solely on Waze and my eyeballs, I would have been nailed if I was driving fast enough (which I probably wasn't).

Yeah I was wondering... Why do you need a radar detector anyway. Don't you always drive the speed limit?

More than anything else, it makes it easier to not space speed cameras around here.
