I love my V1 detectors, I've owned 2 of them. one new style case and a thicker taller older unit.
Just a couple months ago I bought a used one from a fellow Pelican member, no fault of his, but it did give me 2-3 months of good service and many confirmed saves/hits from patrol units. This used 8 year old thicker one died on me, lots of stinky burnt electronics odor came wafing out at me one day and the display wouldn't work / power up.
Crap.
Just a FYI, you can send in your old detector for repair for $45 flat rate, or get a whole new detector for $189. Trade in your old one instead of $400 for another purchase.
As this one was 8 years old, I went with the brand new one, as the new style units are half the height of the old style. New better detection modes and laser tuning too.
I thought that was pretty cool customer service. I love the detection range of my V1. and feel naked without it even when doing the speed limit or just 5-7 mph over.
