are you SURE its brand new? if it is jump on it and sell it for a profit. new they are 400+. if its used then you'll be paying 250 for a scanner as once its used for programming its locked into that particular pcm.

He says its brand new. He sent me pictures of it in the box via his camara phone. He bought it for a 2003 truck but it cant be used on the 03 truck. So he is selling it at almost half what he payed. Makes me wonder if it is really new?

he's either in the christmas spirit or its used. no person in there right mind would choke 200 dollars as a loss to sell someone something at a good price.

Here is the information for Granitelli Motor Sports, the company that markets/manufactures the Diablo Predator http://www.granatellimotorsports.com/contactus.htm. It's a free call to ask them what the real deal is.
