someone has to do OBD1 cars... ;)

Thing is, all equipment manufactures are charging about $275.00 per cable, that's , BMW, VW-Audi, Porschem M-B, Jag, etc etc etc ... he might as well spend $15000 in the diag tool !!!

Manufacturer gives me 30% discount for me to re-invoice it when I quote to customer ... but I need to add the extra shipping from US to Panama ... so, I don't care how many cables he wants .... I want my 40% [the 30 they give me and the upcharge from shipping] .... ;D

<edit> as an honest guy I am, I wouldn't want the guy to spend so much money that in a couple of years he wont use, he wont get his investment back; at least I'm being, 'sub-contracted' by a few shops to 'read/print/delete/adjust[whatever can be adjusted]' in cars and some bikes cause they don't think spending about $3K on a VDST + laptop is a good investment, but, when I start telling them 'when I leave my job, I'll drive/ride by' then they'll say, quote me one, please, for the time being, I'm surfing the big wave !!!

10K is too high...

2K is too low.

It's all in the grind, Sizemore. Can't be too fine, can't be too coarse. This, my friend, is a science. I mean you're looking at the guy that believed all the commercials. You know, about the "be all you can be." I made coffee through Desert Storm. I made coffee through Panama while everyone else got to fight, got to be a Ranger.
