Choosing The right Oscilloscope

[MotoDC]

Hi  I am an automotive repair student at lvl 4 and we just started using oscilloscopes and I wanted to get one , so found this one on ebay ( Fluke 123 )  bought it  and it wont start phoned them and they said 360 GBP for repair LSS ( I cant afford that ) , so I would like to know what to look for when buying a scope and what should I get to suit my needs as motor-vehicle Tech

you mean you bought a broken second hand scope ? send it back to the seller and get your money back.

most oscilloscopes will do you, a cheap 50MHz one is fine for automotive work, or owon have a battery powered oscilloscope that might make auto repair leasier
