I was thinking about buying one of the scanners for my mb, and my grandma's car as well. I was looking on ebay, and most seem to need a laptop (IBM T30).
The prices seem to vary greatly. From about $600 with shipping to about $1k+
Here is the search link. Any ideas which one is better??

I have access to several cars. 95 S320, 97 E420, and several other from friends who are diy'ers. I also have an 87 300 SDL, but I dont' think I coudl hook that computer to it.

Any advice from those in the know would be appreciated.
