This is just sad......someone just sold their Xede on ebay for $34 shipped. I was thinking about selling my Xede but I think I'm just going to keep it as a paper weight now. Talk about depreciation. I know a used part will depreciate in value but this is just rediculous.

That's sad considering we all paid soooo much for them!

 

wait wait wait, is this true for all xede's? is this because of the falling out of the manufacturer and Vishnu? I hope this is a one time idiot deal.

 

It's because of the advancement of ECU tuning. The stock EVO ECU is perfectly capable of doing almost everything the XEDE does.

 

i think this has been such a bad turn of events. the xede was the superior piggyback option for a long time. just based on the support alone. once that dropped off and add to the face that ecu flash became so advanced, there was no more need for such a device. now it looks like its flash or standalones that are the only viable option.

 

+1

 

they could still respond to there frickin customers

 

Would be nice right! Especially after spending a gang of money with them

 

Its true the Xede value has dropped of the face of earth but I look it this way, my car has been with Xede for three years and I never had problem with it so in the end I got a great product which has gaven me reliability and power. To be honest I don't see me ever getting rid of it.

 

I have to agree that it's sad to see that the Xede has depreciated so much. I also paid top dollar for a brand new one, but you know what my Evo also ran it's best after I installed it and had it tuned. I agree with Evo23IG, I'll probably keep mine for awhile. My car is still running good with it and I'm familiar with how it works.

 

I'm ripping my XEDE & SMART out tomorrow and switching to a MBC.

 

Nobody will buy mine. I should sell it for $20.

 

My XEDE took a crap on me. I was getting boost cut all over the place. Ended up being a bad unit (oh wait, Shiv first said it was probably my coils).

I now have a nice, new XEDE from Vishnu (thanks Dustin) which is now a paperweight

 

When I posted the same thing among other things I've noticed in the EVO 10 thread, I was accused of being bitter. Funny, you can't post objective observations about Vishnu on here without the fanboys freaking out.

At this point, I assume the Vishnu guys will get active again when the 10 rolls out, but I'm not sure why anyone would use their services. They have a history of using hardware that is quickly outdated to the point it is almost worthless after only a few years and abandoning markets when Shiv looses interest. Check out how many actual Vishnu replies in the Vishnu Section. It's really a joke. I for one have learned my lesson.

 

They still have fanboys? Must be the guys driving Evos with "Kick Me" taped to their back.
