IS 200 Security Poll

[kamlex]

Hi all, my friends are all telling me that it is a waste of money fitting a tracker to an IS200. It seems i can only get unbiased views from this forum. Could you please answer the following:

On a standard IS200 SE (Brand New) would you spend £700 on a Tracker, or be happy with a $70 Disklok sterring lock, or none of the above?? thanks.

Sorry, i don't think i was very clear in my question as it reads like my previous thread. Basically i am just after a gauge of votes one way or the other. The numbers game will convince me and the pals once and for all. Thanks in advance for the input.

i just go for the steering wheel/ pedal lock, but i live in a very low car crime area (Lands end!) so it doesnt bother me much. If ur worried and it will put ur mind at ease go for the tracker.

When I got my IS200 I was happy with the fact it won the What Car security award and that it was the first car to score 100% in their tests so I didn't opt for a tracker even though I live in a built up area. And I really couldn't be bothered fitting a steering wheel lock everytime I got in/out of the car.

The security issue does bother me as i am in outer London, but i am in two minds as to whether an additional £700 is worth it, especially as my insurance company does not offer any tracker discounts. I have tried quotes from other insurance companies that do offer a tracker discount, but these are always more expensive than my current insurance company. Should i risk it???????, or am i imagining the risk??

The What Car award impressed me too - the car beat the bmw 3 series (and everyone else) and stood up to attacks for 5+ minutes after which time thieves are meant to move onto easier targets. Sooo I've opted for no additional security. As the security gets old and easier to break I might start using my autolok again - the half disk steering wheel lock that also manages the 5+ minutes, unless that becomes beatable.

my own opinion is dont bother mate, if you are also not getting any discount for the insurance, dont worry about it, you will get your pay out anyway.( if they tow it away)

I have a "Disclok" for my steering wheel,but I have only had to use it once in the 18 months I have had the car !
