Question for LI Users!!!

[TSi+WRX]

But the LPP was never "perfect" - nor the AL - in the condition that they arrived, either.

There's plenty of people here who can verify that this is part-and-parcel of these products, too. None of my three heads came either without some kind of casting defect (one member here actually found a physical HOLE in his, I don't remember if it was a LPP or AL G8 head).

My ZR3 - from a corporate giant like Escort - wasn't perfect when it arrived.... at least not the jammer heads, despite the protective film over the outer filter/protective lens.

Some here have even taken delivery of new radar detectors from Bel/Escort with the same kind of casing and/or rear "antenna" defect.

If we are to be naysayers of LI, in examining this particular concern, then we need to take the issue up with just about every manufacturer in this industry.

Clearly you don't understand what I am saying. What I am talking about is getting what you paid for! This is the foundation of being a smart consumer.

You pay a extra premium ($$$) when you buy New items, because they are supposed to be flawless, and obviously, never used.

If you and I both buy the same item, we both pay the same amount of money for it, mine is in perfect condition, but yours is scratched and has glue on it, which one of us has been giped?

Get it?

I understood what you were saying completely, and I read the previous posts and I own one. I'm not sure the latter 2 points apply in your case.

ALL of them come with scratches on them. So your whole argument of "that guy got one without scratches for the same price" is completely invalid.

In case that wasn't clear, let me put it this way: All new LI's comes with scratches! (See the post from Cliff if you think I'm wrong)

Get it now?

I guess it's mostly luck. My heads came perfect without visible blemishes...

This argument is quite ridiculous.

If you think that all LI's come with scratches, fine, I have no desire to change your mind about that. My point remains that it is to your own detriment that you are okay with that 'fact'.

My LPP was in perfect condition out of the box, my 9500xi was in perfect condition out of the box, my new car was in perfect condition out of the show room.

These are just some of my standards when the word "New" preceeds the item I am purchasing.

If you dont ever let the manufacture (of any product) know that you expect the utmost in quality, service and attention to detail, you will always get less than you paid for.
