Hate said:Obv for preventative use, but how much does it cost in general to fit and fund a tracker on most cars?
My car has a cat1 alarm as standard.
yes get it we had our porsche stolen and because we didnt have a tracker we never saw it again :S. If only we had a tracker .

Yeah, if you'd have had a tracker, it would have been great - they've have delivered a knackered (maybe) Porsche back to you, with a big *Stolen/Recovered* HPI label on it, meaning it just wiped £20k off the value and no one would want to touch it.
But instead, you got the market value in cash back, and you could go out shopping for a fresh one.
I don't see the point of trackers at all, unless you have an extremely rare/special vehicle. If someone steals my car, they can bloody well keep it!

I would only say its worth it if the car is something unique, not simply expensive. Something that would be hard to replace. Certianly not on the type of car the OP has in mind.[TW]Fox said:Worth it on: £50,000 prestige cars
Not worth it on: 10 year old Toyotas.

The only reason I would go for a tracker is if all insurance required it, or insurance costs were reduced enough to cover the running costs.
