Looks like the one my guy used. Worked like a charm too. Couldn't tell you if it's a legit ebay ad though.

I don't know the actual price of the STAR new but I would guess that is a little cheap even for a used one. Considering the capabilities it gives you.

Looks legit. Price of $450USD (when converted) seems low. Legitimacy of ad... Not sure... Looks like a reputable seller; however, all of his auctions are private so you can't actually see what he sold before. It could be someone hacked his account and posted this ad... Although his name is CarGenie... Give it a shot...

It's legit but too high, also factor in a laptop. Shameless plug

Contact Shardul here for a C4 or go through the link here where I bought mine.

Be wary on the above (link, not Shardul) , though I did receive the unit from China to my So Cal doorstep in twp days, hard drive was bad, and it was a little hassle to get it swapped. New hard drive is good-again two days. Also some trickery is required to activate some software though DAS works fine.
