Probably the lowest price for this detector I've seen, albeit a refurb.

The real issue with this deal is you can get this brand new from Amazon for $420~ all the time. This is $350 for a refurb. Now; that $70 price difference might seem like a deal... but it's not. If you get a 1 year warranty on it ($55) you're not at $20 in savings from buying a refurb with the same 1 year warranty.
This isn't a good price vs new sale price.

Compare sales to sales; don't compare a refurbished on sale to a full priced non-refurb not on sale. $500 is full price, $420-$450 is the normal Amazon price at any point of the week. Also pretending 90 day warranty is anywhere near as good as a 1 year warranty is ludicrous.
How the eff do you think they ended up with so many refurbs so quickly into it being released if they didn't have a ton returned under warranty?

You guys can be so silly with your lack of logic.
The prices are for new units
R1: $180 - $200 you get a barbone unit but with really good long range detection
R3: $250 - $300 same as the R1 but adds a gps chip. The gps let's you lockout locations around you normal driving areas (think street signs that tell you your speed) so you don't have to get an alert every day on your way to work for example. And low speed muting, do if you are going below a preset speed the unit will auto mute (you pick that speed)
R7: $420 - $500 same as R3 but you get a rear antenna. The rear antenna allows you to have arrows so you can tell if you are getting hit from front, sides or behind. The unit also provided a longer range in all tests however both the R1 and R3 provided such a long range that it's not even a big deal getting a longer range.
I have been running the R1 for about 3 years. It is hardwired to my car so it comes on everytime i get in it in the Vegas heat with no problem. I would love to upgrade to the R7 but honestly i haven't found a reason to push me to spend the money since it has been performing so well for me.
