[size=large][/size]. The detector has been upgraded by the factory before it was sold by dealer. The customer who bought this detector, ordered it the 16th of November, last Tuesday, recieved it Thursday the 18th. He emailed me that night and thought maybe the detector was going to be too complicated for him.. He put it together and spent a few minutes in his yard and then boxed it back and overnited to me... For all practical purposes, it is new. Never registered, battery never charged, foam not put on armrest, etc. It also includes a new White's bag that has never been opened... I have had the opportunity to use other V3's that White's sales and must admit that it is an awesome detector. The V3i has new features that the V3 didn't have and make it an even more desireable detector. I must admit that I sat around and just played with it for hours trying out all of the features. Buy it for $1249 shipped.. thanks Richard
