Best Place To Buy a V1

[Werksmini]

Im looking for the best place price wise to get a V1. I know someone will say ebay but it looks like they cost the same as from the factory and you have to have to deal with fuckers on ebay and all that. So what would you guys recomend?

[Teaguer]

I would say eBay or Valentine themselves , they do sell refurbished units also .

There really are not a lot of places to buy them .

Buy it from the factory. They sell refurbs for cheap people.

They won't do GB's though, trust me.

dont buy used. i dont understand these retards. only the original owner can get upgrades or theft protection. but these idiots buy them used for 350-375, thinking they're getting a deal. just buy it new, direct from valentine.

[SR20Fastback]

i think you can only get it directly from them, with the exception of ebay.

True story. My friend recently bought a factory re-conditioned V1 from the manufacturer and it has worked flawlessly for him. He took a drive to SoCal last month and that thing saved him from at least a couple of tickets going over the I-5 grapevine.

I'm his friend and I can vouch for Jon325i's words. I'll never drive my car anywhere without it, feeling so naked on the street :).

Not true. I know of at least one local shop here in Houston that is a dealer for them

bumping an old thread:

Do any stores carry v1's? I'm guessing not, but its worth asking. I'm leaving on a two-week road trip in a few days and really want one, but I think its too late to order. I'd rather not buy a passport...

[Werksmini]

Order now and get overnight or something. From what I remember shipping was fairly fast.

[benDASHDASH]

Ehh its too late for that.. it looks like I'll be getting a passport =\

I am very happy wiith my Passport (not that I wouldn't like a Valentine)

ProAm (www.proamauto.com) used to sell them, not sure if they still do.

Uh.

So you're gonna pay 100 dollar premium, plus sales tax to buy it local?

Yea, that makes sense.
