you can only buy it direct. that's how valentine operates. worth every penny.
if you want to buy it used, you can do ebay. buy it new. i've had mine for years and it's saved me countless times.

With the upgrade option probably best to buy direct. It used to be the most expensive detector out there, not anymore when you look at the GPS units now so the upgrade option makes it a better investment. I've been going back and forth between the 9500i and the V1...I'd really like a 9500ci

the upgrade option with the v1 is great. why do you think the magnesium casing of the v1 hasn't changed in over 10 years?!

I got mine off of ebay. Just make sure you check the serial number before you buy. Use the serial and check if its in good standing with Valentine at this link. http://www.valentine1.com/upgrades/
If it comes up stolen they will do nothing for you. When I say nothing I mean exactly that. If its in good standing they will tell you the radars current status report on software and what they recommend.
GL on your search as you can find great deals. For future reference V1.8 POP is top of the line. POP is for european bands not needed here in the US so V1.8 will do just fine. for the two versions paying $300-350 is a very good buy.
