Default Radar Warranty

I notice that Escort Radar offers a extended service plan as most companies do.
Did any of you purchase the extended warranty? Suggestions welcome!

The jerks say the got me with radar and had the radar # on the ticket too. personally I think he pinned the speed of the guy next to me on me thinking I was easy money. why pull over the mini van, ticketing the vette must mean more brownie points for them.

Maybe you forgot to plug it in.

Used mine for just one day about 280 miles. So far I like it better than my 8500.
