Trackers!

[Chocolatemonk]

I have recently bought an XKR and thinking about fitting it with a tracker, its 2001 model so obviously not high value but still I want to keep it safe, what is the general feeling around tracker devices and does anyone have any recommendations?

I looked into having a tracker fitted but the insurance company said people only fit trackers to desirable cars so my premiums would go up by £78 a year !Removed! about face if you ask me.

i like watching the police programs and quite often they are sent on the chase of a car fitted with a tracker and they always find the car.

Only thing is, if its stolen for fun then you can guarantee it will be caned to death and then dumped. If they find it then you are left with a car with damage and you will either foot the bill fixing it or lose your no claims and high premiums fixing it through the insurance,.. written off or not

 

So, if it gets stolen, then a claim will probably be the case anyway. you could be extremely lucky and it is pristine when found.

I personally would not bother, let the insurance company pay out and get another car, at the same time save a load of money not having the tracker installed.

 

Just my opinion :)
