rumproast789 Posted August 18, 2009 Report Share Posted August 18, 2009 Is it a good radar? It's not the x50, but my friend had the x50 and said its pretty much the same thing. I got my 8500 for 90$ pluss the drive off of some guy of craigslist he was pretty cool about it. I figured I couldn't go wrong as long as it worked but what do you think, was it worth it? Any one on here have one?

jbondox Posted August 18, 2009 Report Share Posted August 18, 2009 it's good, but like any portable, it is only going to detect a lazy cop that has his radar gun on. A truly professional cop will get you regardless if you have a $10 detector or $2500 detector. And if they are doing laser, well... have your drivers license, proof of insurance, and registration handy...

rumproast789 Posted August 21, 2009 Author Report Share Posted August 21, 2009 I got it for 90 I dunno if it's messd up or not cuz it's either not working or it's working very well lol I like having it for that extra bit of protection and 90 for this brand didn't seem like too bad of a deal. what would you all do, save the money or keep it to be a little more safe possibly inthe long run?
