Hi Scotty & team,
I am planning to get a second hand car and was planning to get obd2 scanner to check the car before purchase. Scotty always recommends getting a mechanic with a dealer level scanner check the car before buying it. However, I don't know any good and honest mechanics in the Philippines where I live. So my plan is to just get a more powerful obd2 scanner. Was looking at an Ancel X7 scanner that claims to be able to do full system scans. Is this any good? Was hoping this will find all problems with the car. Was thinking of getting this one, because my kids can still use it as a regular tablet to watch videos and play games when it's not being used as a scanner. The cost of the scanner will be much lower than if I paid for a car, so I feel like the cost of the scanner is okay if my kids can use it as a tablet afterwards.
Any help will be appreciated!
Tim
Consider Bluedriver scan tool too.
In cheap scan tool department, does https://www.amazon.com/dp/B083F65T8Q, (Feb, 2020) supersede all previously mentioned ones, such as http://amzn.to/2CccVpH , (Feb, 2018) or https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00UJV3E12 (Dec, 2018) or... ? I'm looking for best function/price ratio.
Please post a new question instead of hijacking others. Thanks.
