[TR] Off Topic Code Reader

[Greg Lemon]

Sorry to bomb the list, but thought this topic might be of interest to more 
than just me.

In addition to an old Triumph, my family has several newer cars that are new 
enough to have OBDII diagnostic ports on them, but old enough for me to need 
to work on them from time to time, and I am the family mechanic.

Some of you may be in the same boat, I am thinking of buying my own code 
reader, I know you can get it done at your local parts store for free, but 
often would be more convenient to be able to do this at home.

I notice that you can buy them new anywhere from under $20 on ebay and 
Amazon, to middle of the range looking stuff for maybe $60 to $100+, to 
professional type stuff for $250 or more.

I am tempted to pick up a cheap one, but if the only one's worth having are 
several hundred bucks I will just keep running to Advance Auto to have it 
done.

Anybody had any experience, particularly at the low end?

Thanks, Greg Lemon
