Hello.

I was offered a VAG 1551, and we haven't discussed the price yet.
But I have no idea what the prices are. Before I get ripped off, I'll ask here.

What is the total cost, including cables?


Thank you.

I wouldn't spend more than 50 euros on that.
Advantages of the device:
- Standalone
- Printers
Disadvantages:
- outdated
- unwieldy (the 1552 is significantly better in this regard).

Best regards,
Rudi

Recommended procedure in such cases:

  1. Check the used prices on 3-2-1 (or other platforms).
  2. Buy when a profit of 100-200 EUR (or more) is expected, with the intention of reselling it.
  3. From the profit, buy a proper VAG-COM system - it's more up-to-date and can do more.
  4. If there's still some money left, then invest in a small, lightweight notebook. Tablets, or those that function as both a regular notebook and a tablet, are excellent choices.
