dmanaenk Posted July 24, 2013 Share Posted July 24, 2013 Sure explains all the V2 fire sales, lol. Kinda feel bad for people duped into V2 by sellers with inside information. 666 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gex Posted July 24, 2013 Share Posted July 24, 2013 Yup I think I am a sucker. Gonna look into them at BNW. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris GTO TT Posted July 24, 2013 Share Posted July 24, 2013 Boston Motorsports puts this on Cobb that I have to deal with them. I'm emailing Cobb and calling them out on their 30 Satisfaction Guarantee. If the expect me to effectively pay $790 for a V3 when I could have gotten one for $650 they might get a small claims or a charge back from American Express I am thoroughly upset right now! 2003 Baja 5MT 2016 Outback 2.5i Premium w/Eyesight Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cone_Killer Posted July 24, 2013 Share Posted July 24, 2013 What exactly does this do over the V2... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ragman Posted July 24, 2013 Share Posted July 24, 2013 What what I was able to tell, no extra functionality. But it has a larger color screen that can display multiple items at once. Also, it comes with cool mounting pieces. Someone correct me if I'm wrong. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nightmaresmk Posted July 24, 2013 Share Posted July 24, 2013 The gauge features, full readouts, larger full color screen, on/off switch, Faster installs, room for more data logging, are a big bonus. Hoping the increased speed helps with the data-log cutout at high rpm. Maps don't matter because they are stepping stones to custom tunes which these cars should be running. I'm trading my V2 and getting the $325 off. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
quick4dr Posted July 24, 2013 Share Posted July 24, 2013 Im going to rock the trade in as well, cant beat that deal. My main reason is the nice all in 1 6 gauge readout capability. I don't have to clutter my dash with extra gauges. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris GTO TT Posted July 24, 2013 Share Posted July 24, 2013 Did you see the trade-in option for $325? The problem is I bought the Version 2 brand new on 7/15/2013 for $465...why would I want to flush $145 down the toilet by trading in my brand new Version 2? 2003 Baja 5MT 2016 Outback 2.5i Premium w/Eyesight Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cww Posted July 24, 2013 Share Posted July 24, 2013 If you just bought a v2 at $465 (I did too), then you bought it because it was on sale for $130 off. Apparently, an AP is worth about $465 to you. It's ridiculous to say that now that the v3 is out you're suddenly willing to drop $650. If this was true, you would have bought a v2 a long time ago at $595+ and wouldn't have buyer's remorse right now. I'm not hating on anyone, I'm just saying there's no reason to be mad. The v2 on sale was still a good deal even though something a little more shiny is out now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have been considering one for some time now since most of the local tuners prefer it because of the real time tuning. The sale came along at the same time I was ready to spend that kind of money. If the V3 had been out on 7/15 I probably would have bought it. 2003 Baja 5MT 2016 Outback 2.5i Premium w/Eyesight Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CapnJack Posted July 24, 2013 Author Share Posted July 24, 2013 I think I might jump on board. I've had my AP since 2008. I don't know how long they last so it might be a good insurance policy since it's been riding around in my glove box for 5 years. I've also noticed my V2 is really starting to slow down. The screens are a PITA to navigate though and don't really tell you much. I wish it had a wideband hook up, but I guess we can't have it all. I also like the blue cover.

fishbone Posted July 26, 2013 Share Posted July 26, 2013 $325 for extra screen real estate is steep. Hard to jump on board for those that have V2 that are working just fine I guess. But, I do think the 50% is a good offer, I was expecting less. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
