HI THERE CAMARO FAM, I HAVE LOCATED A RADAR DETECTOR FOR MY CAR THAT I HAVE BEEN EYEBALLING. THEY SAID THEY TOOK IT OUT OF A MERCEDES PREVIOUSLY. NO BOX, NO INSTRUCTIONS AND IT IS A TOP END RADAR FROM ESCORT... IT IS THE ESCORT 9500CI. RETAIL AT 1999.00 AND I HAVE FOUND IT FOR 800. WONDERING EVERYBODIES THOUGHTS ON THIS DEAL AND IF ANYONE HAS ANY EXPERIENCE WITH THIS UNIT? THANKS IN ADVANCE!!

Wow expensive radar detector

Scalded Dog · 09-01-2015, 01:43 PM

Did it require breaking a window to access it, and running real fast after taking it out of the Mercedes?

hahahaha, that I can not confirm or deny due to it being on ebay. The posting says it was professionally uninstalled from a Mercedes S63. my impression is that it is not stolen....

It is top of the line and has laser shifting capability, but unless you know how, it should be professionally installed. I would be more inclined to buy a new Escort Redline for $449 and put the other $350 in mods. You might read some reviews on both.

I put one of those in an R8- took all damn day to install. It's nice, but not worth $2K
Even used, it's ok but not spectacular

I never thought radar detectors get that expensive.
