Default Price of a solus ultra???

Evening guys

Just been offered a brand new solus ultra for £1900 plus vat from my snap on dealer.

Is that a good price???

He recons full retail price is £2500 plus vat.

Or a verdict for £3700 plus vat. Retail £4700 plus vat.

I had a demo of launch on Thursday. Thought it was very good but not as user friendly as the snap on. Launch price is dropping next month to £1975.00 + vat.

My snap on dealer said there are ways to get round such expensive updates.
One way is to leave any updates for 2 - 3 years and then get it updated. He said you'll only have to pay for a maximum of two updates but yet you'll get your scanner up to date for a fraction of the price.
