I have been looking for an alarm system to purchase, this is one of them. It seemed like a good deal even tho the price is cheap like crazy. I don't have such a big budget, being im in high school and I can't work all the time. I just need something somewhat cheap and something reliable.

Ibtl!!!

if u want something cheap and reliable go with a crimestopper basic for like 100 bucks...even tho there is no remotestart and pager remote its better than that brand listed above...like with everything else you get what u pay for...i can also get u a crimestopper with remote start and pager alarms for 200...it has almost a 1.5 mile range on the remote

and why would friggin mods delete posts of personal opinions, at least explain or leave a damn name.
This same thread that was deleted in the tech forum was deleted because it sounded as if the member posted it as he wanted to sell it or solicite it, he never asked for anyones opinion on how the product was or asked if anyone had it, he simply said "any comments appreciated". SO I took that is he was trying to solicite it. so I locked it. But here it sounds as if he wants to know if anyone has it and if its any good, so its ok to me. But if the mod in this forum feels otherwise, he will take care of it.

Now as far as the alarm, similiar alarms with the same items sell for between $300-$500, any seeing as this is a $89 alarm system that features a remote start and a paging system, I would be really suspicious. Its nice that is cheap, but it pretty damn cheap. And the saying always goes "you get what you pay for".

That price is low as hell but also remember that all starters/security systems r only wires for the most part. I got my $500 Clifford at a Best Buy discount of like $120 which is 10% above cost.... So if this company gets their stuff for really cheap or would rather just sell a crap of them to make $ then that's their business because they wouldnt b making very much off of ea one.

It is kinda suspecious though.

thats true that alarm systems are mostly wires, but when a starter gets involved I'd rather have something with a higher build quality and tighter tolerances in equipment thats taking control of my car. I'd really hate to have my car burn down because a crappy relay overheated while starting my car.

Those remotes look like old Startrek tricorders

And in the word Thor, only the letters "HO" have been boldened.
