How much does a used pst2 go for?

My philosophy re: buying tools pre-need is that it actually prevents ever needing them, and may be worth it just for the peace of mind. Your car is thinking, crap, this guys got the mother of all tools and will promptly fix me so I might as well keep going.

I have a durametric and it's nifty. You can store real-time data from many motronic sensors as well as ignition data and dump it into excel, which could be helpful for diagnosing continuous or intermittent problems. It does not allow activating PSM for flushing the brakes like the pst2 does. I called durametric about that. They answered promptly and were willing to discuss things. They said they know how to activate psm, but dont for reasons of liability since apparently you can damage the system by activating it too long. You car doesn't have psm. I've never used a pst2, and don't know its advantage on your car. Perhaps the previous poster could have his trusty assistant demo one for our edification.
