Star Diagnostic -- Best Place to Buy

I am going to purchase a Star Diagnostic. I am looking getting the complete kit with a used laptop already configured. I want to be able to plug it in and go without problems.

Where is the recommend place to buy?

Do I want a C3 or C4? I dont really care about wireless.

Okay .. just pulled the trigger on a C3 unit with Dell laptop all configured.
Seller claims plug it in and go. Exactly what I was looking for.

So the new Star Diagnostic set up was delivered today. Everything was new with the latest software except the Dell computer. The computer is used but in very good condition.

I have only had if for an hour but I know this is going to be a fun tool.

So far it is what the seller said it would be. I plugged it in and it worked.
No fuss no drama. I did do a complete test on my car and the car still runs fine.

Next project will be to change the ABC fluid using this tool.
