Being married means having a wife that likes 'newer' vehicles than I do. As a result I've found myself in need of an OBD scanner to troubleshoot and repair those 'newer' vehicles. Her dad used to work at a dealership and has one of the high dollar scanners but he's been retired for medical reasons for awhile, so it's not quite up to date. From what I've found, because of what it is, getting it up to date isn't cheap. Not to mention he still works on the side,when he can, so just bringing it home with me for use whenever isn't an option.
This leaves me needing one of my own. So, my question is this. Who is making a good scanner that will handle vehicles like a '02 PT Cruiser, and a '98 Surburban? I really don't want to spend the moneey required for one of the high dollar ones, and given as I only plan to use them on my own vehicles I really can't justify that kind of expense anyways. What I'd like is something in the $400 or less range that will both read the codes as well as help out with the diagnostic process a little bit.
So, for those of you that have a scanner of your own, what do you have, how do you like it, etc, etc, etc? Any help, or advice finding what I'm looking for would be greatly appreciated.

Before hooking up to it check the tongue for proper operation. The latche
