Dick Dastardly Posted December 14, 2013 Report Share Posted December 14, 2013 I am surprised that some of the owners who had engine damage immediately following the use of an ARD tune aren't speaking up. Old allegiance, shyness, I don't know but it's odd. Those who tried got slammed with shit about "accusing Lucky". There where a few threads like that. One guy simply stated what problems he was having and he had installed an ARD tune. FANBOY fallout was heavy in that one. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Burn-E Posted December 14, 2013 Report Share Posted December 14, 2013 So how much has the value of a used ARD tune depreciated in the last week? I seem to recall that once the ARD ball started rolling the value of IPD and RICA tunes plummeted. People could barely give them away. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MattyXXL Posted December 14, 2013 Report Share Posted December 14, 2013 When I sold My green tune last Feb on Ebay, I sold it for $40 more than what he charges for a new 4.3 w/rear o2 delete. People are weird, but hell When i originally got the 4.3 White tune w/rear o2 delete for the Red 854 I only paid $145 total, but that was when he first started. Its $300 now. I remember when a plain old 628 ecu was selling for $150 the last two I picked up I paid $45 and $30. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I posted my review on SS, basically b/c the thread was thrown in front of me but my experience has been positive. FWIW, the person who owned my wagon after me was a BMW tuner and read the tune from ARD. I wish I had kept the email with the details, but he basically wasn't impressed. It was pulled from the car soon after he owned the wagon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Big Will Posted December 15, 2013 Report Share Posted December 15, 2013 I've now read so many pages of this stuff in several different threads that my head is spinning. It's a shame if all of this is true because people were very positive about Lucky and ARD for a long time. Everyone was excited to have an alternative to the off-the-shelf tunes of IPD and Rica at half the price...true that recently the prices have gone up considerably for add-ons etc. It's also a shame if it turns out that much of the tuning done was hardly that. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
