If I were in your position, I'd consider getting a cheaper detector (ebay for $10 to $15) BUT know full and well that it is a cheap piece of garbage plastic, and use it for trade in credit (Escort has a promotion where any RD is worth $80 toward the purchase of a RD - this is where I'm unsure though, cuz idk if its only toward brand new detectors). Call Escort's customer service before you do any of this to see if you can trade your crap detector for a refurbished 8500. Otherwise, save your money, and wait till you have $150.
