Really did not want to have to ship this thing, but I could. I would want to be fair and give first in line shot.

For those who didn't notice Evette98 is NOT the original poster who was asking about the value of their Tech 2. They've just started responding as if they are. Be cautious...

To be honest assuming it is a real Vetronix Tech II the going price would be in line with a good modern-day scanner which is a better option. The above pictured Tech II appears to be a clone based on the blow case, the GM issued Tech II had a different style case. Just my opinion and that and $10 will get you a beer at the Trump Hotel in DC.

Post pictures of the inside area where the data card slides into the scanner.

This sure seems to indicate a clone. Never heard of a $4000 scan tool being thrown in with a vehicle purchase.

I would agree, that is why we were curious of value. Even the clones say GM on them?

What is the big deal on original vs clone? My clone Tech2 functions 100% the same as an original one.

Bartsky, I have no idea if the Tech 2 is a clone.

FYI, I've got a TECH 2 clone without the plastic case shown in Bartsky's picture and I believe I paid between $300.00 and $400.00 (summer of 2025) for it new from China. My clone does NOT Read GM on the hand held module sticker, it only reads TECH II. Also, all of the clone indicators mentioned in the previously posted video are true to my clone. It works fine as I used it to troubleshoot and repair the magnetic shock system on my 2009.

Based only on my experience using my TECH II clone, I wouldn't be afraid to buy a clone for home use. I don't know how it would stand up to professional use.
