So we're talking $15 after rebate?? WOOHOO :D

Do they have it online (or can you at least check stock status online)?

Also, is this just regional? What store location did you go to?

**Note** while the page linked shows a rebate icon, the icon is not clickable.

Yeah, is Target open today or not?

Also, is it just me or have the forums been down until now since last night?

Not to crap, just fair warning - a cheap radar detector can be worse than no radar detector because it can easily give you a false sense of confidence for many reasons - poor senstivity, no directionality - you don't know if the alarms means the cop you just passed or if there is another one up ahead, etc, etc. Considering how expensive a speeding ticket can be, buying a high-end radar detector can pay off after saving you from just one ticket. So be careful one this one, it may be an anti-deal in the long run.

Also, I got a ticket last summer when I drove about 80 miles/hr in Grand Canyon area with my radar detector. Police accually detect that I have a radar detector while he drove opposite to my direction and turn around and pull me over. I was hiring it when he went down his police car. I was begging he to excuse me and finally he wrote me a ticket 70 miles/hr instead of 80 in a 55 mile/hr area...

I agree, cheap radars don't work well and it's worst than not having a radar. I bought one in the $179 (Cobra) range and used on the I-5 going to LA and it sucked. I must had over 300 false alarms and had to shut it off 'cause it was just annoying. Never used one since. I guess if you spend around 400-500 bucks you can get a decent one but those off of Target are jokes.

I concur, Cobras can work. But if you are loooking for a good radar you have to go with the bigboys unfortunately. Bel 980, Passport 8500, and Valentine1 are the best available but they're also the most expensive :(.

if we all have around 400-500 laying around, we wouldn't be on this board searching for deal right??

Of course here in SoCal where the traffic rarely moves above the speed limit (usually goes much less in fact), this is not really a hot deal.

Of course if you go up to the mountains to race, then it might be worth considering. :)
