Escort's Trade-In program?

[focalcivic]

I am not sure now, but during Christmas and a little before it was $80 bucks for any detector. Before that is was $80 for newer Escort, $50 for older Escort and $30 for anything.

When I traded my V1 3.872 recently I was happy to get the full $80.

I have to give <<JAZZY>> credit here for being open-minded enough to try a good Belscort detector that will cost what a V1 will. I'm impressed. He also gave the 8500 a fair review as well.

I would suggest trying a 9500ix. The RedLine will probably be annoying, because without arrows, it's sensitivity will make it harder to figure out where the contact is. The less sensitive 9500ix makes pin pointing the LEO's location easier.

How much more is the Escort 9500ix if I have to get the camera updates or whatever?

I am considering giving them a POS X and K band only Cobra that I stumbled across that was probably my older sister's back in the day.

Now, do I want the "raw" Redline or the "quiet" 9500ix....

I know what to expect from a V1 so maybe I will give the Redline a try.

The RedLine is much more similar to the V1 than the 9500ix. The 9500ix will give you a unique experience with the GPS options it offers and.......if you have alot of K-Band sensor annoyance.....you'll definitely appreciate the lockout feature.

I suspect, if you've been using your 8500 alot, the reduced alerts to these K-Band sensors has grown on you a bit.

On the other hand........the RedLine will give you totally new experience with great (and I mean great) Ka-Band sensitivity! The K-Band falses can be attenuated a bit by switching into Automode, but it's still going to alert more than your 8500 to these nuisances.

Two reasons to give the RedLine additional consideration. First one is, I have this sense that your in VA from a Spectre video you posted a while back. If so, the stealth offered by the RedLine would be a good thing. Next, your biggest concern with the Belscorts has been poor reaction times. The Band Segmentation and RDR features in the STi-R could be used on any M3 to improve reaction times if Belscort ever decides to employ those features here in the US.

I agree with you points, but i wasn't happy with my 9500ix sensitivity. I guess he could give it a 30 day test drive and go for the Redline if the 9500ix isn't enough performance for him.

I got the $80 for a broken Whistler worth $0
