Whats your thoughts on my V1 purchase?
Would like to hear what you all think about my purchasae of my V1.
I was looking on ebay and tyring to find one for a good price when I saw a new listing that bidding was starting at $100. There weren't any bids on it yet but I noticed in the shipping price section it said pick-up only. So I looked at the ad and the listing said that they would charge whatever auction ended at plus exact shipping. So I thought that the pick-up only part was a mistake and thats why it had no bids on it. The listing also had the guys phone number so I called him and asked if he would just take it off of ebay and sell it to me for $100. He agreed and with shipping and all it was $108. He sent the V1 with just itself, no cords or anything. I then bought from VR a visor mount, power cord, and lighter adapter. Also, a manual. So overall from VR I spent $31.00.
Total spent was $139
The version on the V1 is 2.879
Just wondering if you all think I got a good deal or what? and how good is that version compared to the new one?
Re: Whats your thoughts on my V1 purchase?
oooolllllllddddd... At the very least, send it in for a tuneup IMO.
Re: Whats your thoughts on my V1 purchase?
What's the serial? I don't think that version is as sensitive on Ka.
Re: Whats your thoughts on my V1 purchase?
And the upgrade to the newest version V1 will be like $279. Check the serial # on the V1 Upgrades page. It'll tell you what you need to know.
Re: Whats your thoughts on my V1 purchase?
Make sure it is not stolen.
Rest assured that if it is VR won't send it back to you when you send it in to them.
Definitely send it in for a tune-up.
If the serial number is clean then it would appear that you got a great deal :thumb2:

3244020475 - - Comes up clean and all. Glad to hear I got a good deal. I would like to get it tuned and possibly an upgrade, just don't know if it would be worth it

Re: Whats your thoughts on my V1 purchase?
Yeah probably will. but if I send it to just get tuned what happens to it? are they going to turn it on and see that it is working fine and then just take my $45 and send it back to me? or do you all know what happens with it?

Did you call VR and check? That's the only way to know.
I'm not sure but I think you get a whole new unit(1.8 - much more slimline case) when you do a full upgrade. They actually give you a new unit provided the one you send them is intact and has a serial number that has not been tampered with.
I would get an upgrade but that's not to say that you wouldn't have decent protection with it the way it is.
At the very least send it in to get it tuned.
