Passport/Escort 8500 Radar/Laser receiver

[Shumax]

Unit is a couple of years old, but was sent back to Escort 9 months, or so, ago to be updated, etc. Comes with everything that it came with when I bought it, as well as the direct wiring kit with the remote display.

Selling because we sold a car that this was in and already have another unit in the car we'll be driving from now on.

Looking for $150, shipped.

Please email me at shumax@yahoo.com

Thanks,
Shumax

God that's tempting, I have the 7500 and have been thinking about the 8500 or the V1. What is done with it when they update it?

I just had it in to have it recalibrated. I think it was like $75. Probably a waste of my hard earned money, but they did recommend it. Come to think of it, I didn't really notice any difference except the new suction cups they gave me :>)

Here are some pics...The one is for the update to the unit and replacement of the antenna.

First $150, shipped, takes it.

:yes: That is a VERY good deal for those not aware of it. I'd snatch it up myself if I hadn't recently purchased a Bel RX-65.

Shumax, you shouldn't have it very long.

Thanks for the kind words, RTexasF. I have it for sale on two other sites and it amazes me that people want to haggle the price down even further. :thumbsdow

$150, shipped, if a good deal for a unit that's been updated and is as good as new.

We'll see how it goes...

Nice try :thumbsup:

I wish I had a need for other things. Come to think of it, if anyone is in Chicagoland and knows how to wire a basement that I am going to be finishing in a month, I'll trade this for your services :naughty:

[samsonskeg]

what about "payment plan" :) Do you accept that?

[ericrwalker]

Sounds like you really want it. I would like it too, but I just spent so much money on a new bed. New Digital Camera, a car haha new printer...I just hope my stock go up so I can pay off the credit cards now :lmao:

Damn dude. After seeing your pics this morning at 5am when I got up, I think I 'ought to give you the damn thing for doing what you do every day. Kudos to you for keeping my panzy A$$ safe. :wave: Seriously.

[ericrwalker]

haha Thanks, I am glad you liked the pics. A few of my friends from Iraq call me every once in a while saying they are having sleep problems. I went to have lunch yesterday with one girl that was over there with me, and she said she just cries for no reason some times. Most of us wouldn't trade it for the world still. It's an awesome experience, even if we didn't like it. :)

[ericrwalker]

you have 3 days left and it at 112.50 including shipping...looks like it might go over what you were asking.

First of all....BARF! I am with my wife moving her into temp housing for a new job she started. She's in Cincinnati for training for 2.5 months---we live in Chicagoland. Anyway, it's 62 degrees and sunny here :thumbsup:

Back to topic---the housing unit is great, but the highspeed isn't working due to some technical crap with the modem not being assigned to this unit, yadda, yadda, yadda. So, I'm on DIAL-UP :bawling: :jawdrop: :puke:

God, I miss our Comcast :yes: The Roadrunner guy is coming tomorrow...sigh.

Anyway, I'm surprised it climbed so quickly. I thought it would get above $125, but above that was gravy.

The car goes on next Thursday evening :naughty:

[Shumax]

$152.50 and about 3 hours till it ends. Hurry!!!!!!!!

162.50 now, I will let them have it....I don't have the cash right now. I would like to bid and run up the price for you but can't take that chance.

[ericrwalker]

be glad you sold it on ebay. 187.50 + shipping....congrats :banana:

It's cool. I ended up telling the person who won that I'd cover the shipping since I was going to do that at $165 anyway.

Glad it sold. Now I have my Valentine One in my car and that's it. I love that thing...

Do you like the V1 better than the 8500? I really like the look and options of the escort. Though I'd rather have the best working one over looks.

[EXLNavi]

I have a V1 and it's the BEST. Saved me from many a ticket from NJ troopers hiding in the bushes!!

[ericrwalker]

I don't see a direct wire kit for the V1 but I do see the privacy power adaptor. Hey my birthday is next month, you all can chip in :lmao: :lmao: :lmao:

I really like the arrows on the V1. In terms of sensitivity; I think they are about the same.

[Shumax]

There's a direct wire kit that I think came with mine. Hell, all I know is that mine's direct wired and it works great.

[ericrwalker]

cool, well I will give you my mailing address next month. Then you will know where to send the V1 on my birthday....surprise me :banana:

[RTexasF]

Quit thread stealing! The guy has offered an item for sale. That doesn't require opinions on what's best etc. We all have the best one, of course! :)

[ericrwalker]

hmmm but he already sold the item

[RTexasF]

Good for him! My apologies, I didn't realize it was sold.

If you guys like, you can start another thread about best radar detector? That way it would be easier for noobs to look for the info, whereas they would probably just pass over this thread thinking there's not much useful info in it (since it's in the Classifieds and all). :wave:
