Thumbs up Escort 8500 Radar Detector

its brand new and still in box, should i go for it?
he got it as a replacement from car toys for some reason
does it sound like a good deal? or should i just save up my money and get a 9500IX or a v1.
im kinda leaning to the Escort because its quiter,

so is the 8500 useless now? or does it get the job done like the 9500IX and v1?

It works just fine. I'm using my old 8500 while my 9500ix is being repaired by the factory (no sound). It picks up a variety of signals.

I'd offer him $200, or 225 max. He'll sell.
