Tech2 for sale?
« on: 05 June 2007, 20:11:38 »
OK, just testing the water here, would there be any interest in buying it here?

Would be Tech2 unit, lead to plug into standard diags socket, a Dell Latitude PIII 650Mhz, 256Mb RAM, 20G HDD with W2K Pro (with licence).

Obviously, we're not talking peanuts, if you are serious, you know the value...

Not without a CANdi module. With a CANdi, it can read Veccy-C and Astra-H...

Would be nice, but I bet owning this is a double edged sword.

Nice to have and nice little earner, but constant stream of people to help at awkward times.

Is there any merit in the forum buying it?

A whip round amongst the active membership would secure it for less than a single Tech2 session at VX per member, I'd wager. Obviously there are recurring costs to maintain it but it would be a valuable resource for the forum members.

Collecting the funds, managing access to it and the like would not be without their headaches but not insoluble if we want it badly enough.

Jaime and his Tech2 have been a lifeline to many of us (which reminds me, Jaime, I still owe you for some Tech2 stuff - speak to you in Keswick) and we need to think about what life would be like without it!

Failing this, is there any merit in the forum investing in a less expensive diagnostic tool?

Just thought I'd float the ideas. I don't have a feeling for whether they're workable or not but it's got to be worth asking the question.

Like the tool pool, I think a 'forum owned' Tech2 would be a bit too unmanagable and a logistical nightmare....
