Default Locked Gryphon

I bought a Gryphon from a idiot who said it was unlocked, upon receiving i saw it was still programmed to his truck.

Anyways im tired of dealing with him, so what needs to happen here?
Do i send it to php to get flashed?
Or can Bill or Corey send me a download to do it myself at home?

Thanks!

you have to send it in and have it unlocked, i think it costs $150 to have this done.

Pretty sure you can contest the sale through paypal, since items received were not as advertised. Hope you saved all communication between the 2 of you.

Contact paypal, see what your options are.

My vote is to just return it, get your money back, and try somewhere else. Wait a few more paychecks and get a new one.

file a claim with paypal, immediately, the item was not as described, you thought you were buying a usable gryphon, not a vin locked one that is worthless to you.

they must have dropped it then, or it was edge that was 150, eitherway, he shouldn't have to pay. that still seems awfully cheap, get your truck setup, take it out, sell it to your buddy, if unlocking is that cheap, why not.
