Following is some math on what it cost to own a SAT. Orgininal Cost Feb. 1990......................................$1360.00 Upgrade to FAC and All Other Service....................470.00 TOTAL COST.........................................................$1730.00 129 MONTHS -- COST PER MONTH................$ 13.41 Approximate Number of Tunings in 129 Months (very accurate).......................................7516 COST PER TUNING.............................................23 Cents Speaking for myself, I would pay double. >> Certainly a very accurate way of justifying the cost of an Accutuner. I don't have all the information you have, but I would venture to guess my numbers would be about the same. As you said, even if it cost twice as much, the reduction of stress on my part would more than justify the expense of the SAT III. I would suggest you send this information to Inventronics. It could be used to promote sales. Wilem
