Would turboXS honor any warranties that apply if the UTEC was purchased through an authorized dealer? Jermaine can you chime in on this! i am about to jump all over this deal if warranties are honored.

thanks for the link SoFla350z

Yes I wouldn't trust that guy.. I also saw it, EVEN DEALERS dont have the unit yet and if he is selling at that price pry stolen and is a another unit, no warranty and shop wont be happy when you bring them somthing off ebay common rule. Dont be cheap and do it the right way so yo dont have to pay later!

What do you think about his feed back (100%)? i also noticed alot of good comments and many other UTEC/turboXS products on his page. Would it be worth a shot, @$300 savings?

ITs all up to you, but I would still advise getting from authorized dealer where warranty is still there and the comfort of know you bought from a direct vendor!

Went with it! i am overseas so i won't be able to see it for a short while. Perhaps i will have you go over to the house and take a look at/inspect it backagain. i'll let my room mates know to keep an eye out for it and to give you a call. they woudn't know what they are looking at.

Some dealers do have it. Why would the warranty be void? It's still a product of theirs. I think i'll try it also.

Jamie, let us know how this one goes.

Talk about a great price. I thought TXS was uber strict on selling below their listed price.

Will do. actually i will have backagain take care of that for me, i am overseas!

why i did it:

**100% feed back (255 feed backs!)
**sells and has sold other UTECs and turboXS products
**to quote backagain "go for it, just use paypal, if it doesnt workout like it **should dispute it through paypal or your credit card company. easy as that. same money"
**from the Ebay site, i would assume this to be true as well
--ALL OF OUR TURBO XS PARTS ARE COVERED BY THE MANUFACTURERS WARRANTY!
**oh and Price! lol

i agree, ive done business on ebay for about 6-7 years now, bought and sold probably a few hundred items, from a few thousand dollar items all the way down to a few dollar items, havent had 1 bad experience yet, i know there are some scammers out there but if you "read the fine print" and know how to protect yourself, youll be fine. youre gonna be glad you bought it. i still might, i just dont know if ill gain much over the unichip i have now.

I am sure Utec would honor warranty if they can verify units are legit, the only thing is how much of hastle it would be, it is nice to have a real vendor to handle your issues in the case the unit is bad rather than a guy in his living room selling cheap parts you wont hear from again. Food for thought when buying expensive parts.
