If buy a used Smarty from member, still get same customer service?

There is a $600 or best Smarty Sr. in the DTR classifieds. If I was the second owner, would it be like I bought it new when I want new upgrades & stuff? Or is it worth the extra dough to be the original customer?

I am definitely getting a Smarty (getting a reflash in a few weeks), and have enough money in my pay-pal account for the Jr. or Sr. I have read that everything available for the Jr. will all be available for Sr. Now that I have the DD clutch, I definitely want to enjoy some power.

The Jr. sounds awesome, but if it makes less power than my Superchips (performance mode), I know I will wish I got the Sr. Marco or Bob was nice enough to actually read some of my posts and suggest the Jr. for me. And I definitely want to be on the Madselectronics team for their awesome customer service.

I must admit I have been enjoying the power more with a strong clutch.

Thanx for any time/input.

I am not sure, but I think I am indecisive.

I think you can expect the same quality of service whether you buy new or used.

I've been very impressed by Marco's help with my used Smarty! Great customer service for me all the way.

Thanx guys. I know Superchips wants you to be the original owner, or you have to pay for any help. Diablo is the same story I imagine.

I got my smarty in the DTR classifieds. I couldn't get it to work, PM Bob and after his advice I still couldn't get it to work. Sent it to Bob and he took care of it and it works great. Thanks again Bob!!!!
