    Sure it is. It's right next to the free movies and music.

    I got my first laptop from diesel laptop.com and it was terrible. Second computer I got from dieselscanners.com which was pretty good but the battery only lasted 3/4 hours before it needed a recharge.
    eBay never gave me support but it was ok can’t complain. My last laptop had a virus from eBay I think because my credit card got used from another state but my bank refunded me.

    I bought mine off eBay years ago. It was an old Toughbook preloaded with tons of software and came with a Chinese Nexiq. It's worked without issue on my 3406E. I paid about 500 for it. My only complain is the laptop was pretty beat up compared to the one in the pictures of the ad.

    I bought one off eBay and immediately returned it since the laptop they had pictured wasn’t what they sent me, and the programs required a username that I didn’t get.

    Well your going to have to have a log in at each respective engine and component company in order to use the software in it's entirety and that ain't cheap.

    Most likely the software has been hacked to avoid getting rapes by the dealer. Mine was at least.
