From what i gather, things to watch for are failed 32Mb memory card, £300 odd each from usa. Dodgy key pad membrane or conector(?)

That is cheap .... if it all works as advertised .. but if you want to keep it up-to-date you also need a subscription account and I've no idea what that costs .....

If genuine Vetronix one, yes a good price.

However, despite its obselence, at that price, I would guess its one of the chinese clones that are flooding the market. Whilst it should work like a Tech2, alledgedly, the clone ones are flakey.  Vetronix do state somewhere how to spot clones.

I've never seen a clone Tech2 in the flesh, so don't know if the flakeyness is rumours put about by Vetronix, or if they are that poor.

Any further advice on this Jaime? Also, if genuine, would these units come with all the required software.? :y

You will need to search the Vetronix site, or contact them.

As to software, depends what you want to do. For basic code/data reading, just needs a one time update (which it may have). Reprogramming/configuration needs a subscription.

They claim it is a Vetronix, and with the latest software. Very tempting I must say, as I have seen others in the £3k plus range.
