I know that we did a group buy a few months ago for an OBD-II scanner software, but if anyone was still interested in buying this product, Taurus Club is running a current group buy. The price is the same as what CEG had negotiated ($73 for 20 buys - 40% off regular price).
The following is from
www.tauruscarclub.com and includes instructions on how to register for the group buy:
From tauruscarclub.com:
The TCCA has received discounts for group orders from Alex Peper at www.obd-2.com on his OBD-II diagnostic scan tools. For your Taurus and almost every car OBD-II started on vehicles produced in the year of 1996. However OBD-II was introduced on some vehicles as early as 1994. The list price will be discounted 20% off for 10 orders, and 40% off on 20 orders. The product is plenty more than a mere code scanner, for full information on the products visit the website and you can even download the software already. To receive your discount and be included in the group buy send an e-mail to obd-2@tauruscarclub.com with your full name, mailing address, phone number, e-mail, as well as which product you wish to buy (Ford, 2-car combo, or 3-car combo).To read their current forum thread, go to
http://www.tauruscarclub.com/UBB/Forum4/HTML/000530.html There are links to the mfg website, as well as a downloadable demo. This looks like a pretty good tool, especially if you can hook up with a laptop (486, Win3.1 compatible, as well as 9x/ME). You can log all sensor data as you drive around, and then review the data off line or in real time.
I already registered and am #5. They want to hold out for 20 to get the maximum discount. Never have to pay a dealer to read a code again, plus much much more! I'm sure some CEGers can attest to how good this product is.
