No Go for V1 GD

I figure it never hurts to ask so I sent Mike Valentine an e-mail
asking about the potential for a GD for those of you who don't
already have a V1. Here's his reply:

Sorry Mr. Kremer,

We don't have any discounts for volume purchases. Since we don't use
retailers, we don't have a volume price structure.

Cordially,

Mike Valentine
---------------------------------------------------
That said, you should now go to Valentine One and order one yourself.

Cheers,

JK

Are the radars supposed to work for a lifetime, or do they drop off in performance after a little while?

They will always work, assuming they don't break. What will happen is that cops will start using new techniques and bands and the old radar detector won't detect them. But V1 offers an exchange program where you can send in your old V1 and pay some but not full price for a new one.

the v1 is proven itself to be the best for many years but if a cop flips his radar on right when you get near him you have no chance to slow down
