Anyone take adv of Brake Buddy old for new discount?

[klm]

Hi,

My brake buddy has bit the dust. RV tec (brake buddy authorized) checked it out, and I need a new circuit board. BB will not sell the part, even to the rv center. I spoke to cs at bb, he said that the part is about $200, evaluation/repair will put cost well over $300. I will need to send my bb to them. CS said they generally recommend replacement of unit, particularly one that's over 7 yrs old.They will replace (keep) my bb in exchange for a new Vantage unit (mine is a Classic, '06) for $650. The Vantage on bb website is about $1400+ - plus will have a 3 yr warranty. OK, sounds good - we are fulltimers, satisfied with bb over the past 7 yrs - we are not looking for a different braking system (tow 2500 lb Fit). Is there something in this deal we're not seeing? Seems to be very good. Anyone do this? Satisfied?

UPDATE 9/9 post

thanks, Happy Labor Day

Mine stopped working send it in for repair. They repaired it & upgrade the unit for $399.00. I heard that from another person so I tried it and it worked. IT would have cost over $700.00 to repair or $399 to grade & get a 3 year warranty

$750 sounds like a pretty decent discount off of a new unit. If they will do that for anyone, I have an old Brake Buddy system that I will give for free to anyone that wants to buy a new unit. You pay the shipping or pick it up and it's yours.
