okay so lately I've been doing a lot of highway miles and I'm sick of doing the speed limit hoping I don't see a Georgia State Patrol. Well... I just got me a $100 best buy gift card, so I figured i'd ask you guys for your advice, what type/brand of radar detector should I buy for $100?
passport escort series. I got a 7500 about 6 years ago, still going strong. the 8500 and 9500s are great from what I hear, I have had nothing but good luck with mine. a little more than $100 though. Cobras are good for the price, I got my dad an $80 one from frys and it works pretty well. I dont speed too much though, maybe 10 over at the most while passing someone on the freeway, I just like to know where they are, theyll get us big trucks and contractors for ANYTHING hoping to find something illegally modded, or an unsecured load, so if I slow to the exact speed I dont give them any reason to pull me over. I dont have anything illegal I just dont want the headache.
My brother has one for his gt, its a cobra but i think it was more around the 200 dollar range. But seems to work good. Im sure you know this, but just remember they only work if there radar is on. So you still got to watch out.
Bought one similar to this for the wife. The thing that slowed her down the most was the $340 something dollar speeding ticket. She never would show it to me but I has my ways of finding out about it. Amazon.com: Cobra XRS9370 High Performance Radar/Laser Detector with 360 Degree Protection: Car Electronics
i got a cheapy cobra from best buy, 14 band i think, honestly it works...but only half the time. lol you get what you pay for so i'm not complaining
i got more tickets when i had a radar detector cause i sped more. now i just drive 5 over the limit and i don't have to worry about tickets
