Alright guys,

I purchased an Escort 8500 x50 the day AFTER I got my speeding ticket as kind of an impulse thing. Now the credit card bills are coming in and I need to get rid of it.

Works PERFECTLY. Used less then three weeks. Comes with EVERYTHING, original box, hardshell carrying case, manuals, smart cord/power cord, everything! This is one of the best radar/laser detectors on the market! Plus you can buy the shifter z3 from escort and have laser jamming ability built right in. (that was my plan, but things change...) Cheapest price on pricegrabber is $258.84

Cheapest price on Froogle is $273.85

Here is what escort has to say about them:

Features

360-degree radar and laser detection

Advanced digital signal processing

AutoSensitivity mode automatically reduces false alarms

EZ-Programming allows instant customization

Selectable POP mode radar detection

3 High-resolution meter modes

Ultra-bright matrix display with 280 LEDs

Brilliant blue or high-intensity red display

Multiple high-performance laser sensors

Built-in earphone jack

Mute & AutoMute

Completely immune to the VG-2 "detector-detector"

One year limited warranty

Price is 200.00 plus shipping. Saving you almost 60bucks because I'm dumb. :rolleyes (to add insult to injury I paid 299.99 for it)

Pictures will come tomorrow (unit is still in the car)
Thanks

I forgot to take photos aswell so I snapped a couple the other day, sorry about the quality they are from my cell.

Hey, I already have smoked lighting all around, and some blacked out grills, The B-pillars sound pretty rad, but I just sourced a new interior, but thank you for the offer!
