Default Tracker or no tracker

Hi all,

I've recently bought a 1997 subaru impreza turbo 2000, and its completely standard at the moment, was going to change the exhaust on it but was wondering about if I should get a tracker fitted first.

Everyone keeps saying they're a very stealable car and I was just wondering if it was worth it as the car is only worth aprox £2k-2.5k.

Should I get one fitted? or just leave it?

Thanks!

Up to you. Some insurance companies say you have to, some don`t bother.
I have one and I`d rather have one than not, the expence is in the first one with Tracker as new ones are £90 on their loyalty scheme, so worth it if your keeping the car.

Don't bother complete waste of money IMO.

If it fails you don't know about it.

Customer service is shocking for a company that is supposed to track your car They got my address wrong!

One of the biggest cons on the market. I will refuse to have this product fitted in the future.

Save some cash and get a nice big yellow steering lock at least you can see that works.

The crucial question I would ask anyone considering a Tracker is this. If your car was stolen, would you really want it back not knowing how its been treated ( I would hazard unsympathetically)

Depends how its taken, if its joy ridden then fair enough, but if on a flatbed then yeah I wouldn`t have a worry as long as they didn`t bend anything. I would if joy ridden too, its my car no matter what has happened to it.
