You can by them from their website. But there are literally a TON for sale on EBay.
In the past I would have said it was all about how much you wanted to spend. The V1 used to be about a hundred or so bucks more than the Escort. Not anymore.
The GPS quirks and the learning features are whats bumped up the price. You can do most of the same things w a V1 like programming it to dismiss X or K bands, the different Logic modes. . . You've been able to do that with V1's for YEARS.
Valentine Ones hold their value like none other, that's probably the truest test. Personally I fell in love with the V1 a long time ago bc it didn't look like a radar detector. When sh*t was going down the interface on the V1 was so much easier to decipher. The warnings the Passport gives you just looks benign by comparison.

I have Escort 9500I blue version and i really liked when i was using it.
Range is good and it looks pretty good. Once i'm back i'm going to upgrade it to 9500ix via Escort you can send it in and they will reflash it with new software of 9500ix for $125. Althought i don't really need it anymore but it's still cool to detect a cop even when driving a speed limit.
