    Default Ok, guys, best radar detector for <$150 NEW?

    What's the best radar detector for <$150 NEW? I'd like to spend a bit less than $150. I don't need a 4 mile warning, but 2 would be nice. lol.

    What if I could find a used X50 or Solo S2 for around the same price?

    lol. Well, I'm currently the high bidder for an X50 and S2 on ebay, but I'm sure I'll be outbid soon. I sure hope I don't win them both! lol.

    I'm not being a zombie here, just a couple good points AGAINST the S2 or any cordless detector:

    Cordless Detector?

    Never go cordless

    Or just look at previous radar detector tests to see how much the Solo S2 struggled:
