I bought the unit in Canada with Cdn funds, but for the sake of simplicity I listed what I paid for it in USD, all other prices are what I paid USD.

My costs....

Used Xcal1 $175 USD
Reflash for custom tunes by SCT dealer $65 USD
Cost for SCT head office in Florida to wipe $150 USD
My total $390 USD (not including any shipping fees)

I could have bought a brand new Xcal2 with serial cable, custom tunes and 6 months of free tune updates for $375 USD

I have talked with the guy who sold me the Xcal1, he is very sorry and I believe that it was a genuine mistake on his part, we are still in discussion and hopefully he will reimburse me somewhat.
