[s-cars] detectors

[Bruce Mendel]

That works well, just make sure seller is authorized/registered to own it 
and tells V1 you're buying it.

It could be hot, and even if not, without authorization to own, if you need 
repair, or do want to upgrade it one day, or you go to sell it and buyer 
asks you this question, you're hosed. They only sell direct so they can 
track serial#/ownership closely.
