I am not 100% sure if it will work with our cars but its a good price considering its like 80 bucks at Advanced Auto Parts

 

My friend mechanic friend has the $300 ver for several years now. The diff of his and the one you linked is that yours just spits out codes. His includes a flow-chart-like menu to help diagnose the problem (it spits out codes too).
