I just purchased this one the other day, the price went from $117.00 to $179.00 depending on which site you get it from. This reader is the same company that supplies the dealer with the DRB's that we use. It took 2 days to get, free shipping and no tax. The readout is fast and clear and is just what I needed. It will only read out and display engine faults. Will not do ABS or Body codes.
