My brother's friend installed a Viper 550 ESP in my 4runner last night. We are trading equipment; I'm giving him a used IBM T30 laptop for an alarm and stereo.
My mistake was not agreeing on a dollar amount before the install. What I think the T30 in worth verse what the alarmed and stereo, installed is worth. So my question is, from your expert opinion what is a used Viper 550 ESP installed worth? He’s certified and the install was very clean, he came to my house and it took him about 4-5 hours for it got dark quickly. He provided a new led alarm light instead of the red dot light on the steering column. He also had to remove an old alarm system.

Nothing stereo related has happened yet or will until some prices are firmed up. He is a good friend with my brother and very fair with prices and stands behind all his work.


I almost forgot that he installed the remote start module also, which is great now that winter is coming.
Thanks

A reasonable indication of what the laptop is worth

 

that 550esp on that vehicle is no more than 300 for full price at authorize dealer. are you sure that was your brothers friend?

 

thanks for the value, just last week he offered to install four 6.5 JBL speakers and a sony cdx-gt400 head unit in the 4runner. So we are getting much closer to an even deal.
I like the speakers but the head unit is used and I haven't found much info on it expect from Crutchfield.
