Cabrio Alarm systems....talk to me!
i know ill obviously need a dual zone proximity sensor, but apart from that i figure all i need is a basic cat 1 system.
ill be getting it on BNPL through Gap security, who arent exactly the cheapest around, they want ?50 up front and then ?699 in 6months for the avantguarde 5.5, which although brilliant, has some features i dont need (remote start etc) and is quite honestly more than id like to pay!
for ?399 i can get the clifford made hornet maxx system with a dual zone sensor added on, which dont seem like too bad a deal, but is there better out there for that kind of money? toad,viper etc?
or is it worth spending the ?700 on the avantguarde 5.5?
let me know what you guys all think!

the guy im going to get mine off says it needs a microwave system which should be good for heating pies as well
don't think a cat1 with the microwave and all the other stuff should be costing ?600+ 8O sounds a bit steep to me

but yeah its a bit steep! problem is i dont have ?3-400 to pay out up front, but my car HAS to have an alarm, so i have no option other than to go through GAP security on the finance

600 is a laugh mate whether its finance or not, see if they do the cobra, if not the get a steering lock until you can afford it

I have a viper 360 (think, or 380), and is ultra sonic. Has a 'pager' which sends you a message when the alarm or warming goes off and what part of the car has caused it.
Bit of a gimic tbh but for 360 fitted it saved me a lot on insurance.

Its worth checking with your insurance company.
That price is expensive there are a lot of class 1' cheaper without all the frills you might not need or want and you are going to pay double on that deal and in more debt can you not defer payment on a credit card card or small bank overdraft?__________

remote start invalidates thatcham cat 1 status, unless its the avantgarde 5.5, that is the only remote start alarm system that has cat 1 status.
im not fussed about having remote start, but its not much of a diff in price without so i may as well have it.

I work at a bank and the interest rates are lower on loans than they are on paying back an overdraft and can be cheaper than paying finance with interest.
Also, RBS are currently doing a credit card with 0% interest for 6 months on purchases and 0% interest for 13 months on balance transfers?
If any of that is at all helpful to you :dontknow:

got it on monthly payments with no fee to settle early so that'll do.

Well at least it's something worth having and will save you pennies in the long run!

Plus you have the luxury of starting and warming up your car before you've even showered, got dressed and ready for work in the morning

starting your engine without being in the car is cool the 1st few times, but any novelty gets old after a while!

However, as you said, any novelty wears off after a while.
Bit like marriage you could say?
:dance:
Ahaha.
