Alrams, new vs old

Post by Ryan from Ohio »

Ok Im at a loss her guys.

I have two Alarms, both Compustar.

Both are very good alarms. Ones the new 900FM-AS system, the other the older SHF-2was system.

Both are identical in features except the new one has more bells/whistles and longer distance. But speaking about the stuff that matters, they are the same.

Now I have the project Beretta. The car Im going to be driving until I find the car I was to buy. I want to install one of these alarms into this car.

Which one?

I honestly dont know. Im thinking the older one. I mean this car once done will be just a pleasure ride and for shows/comps... Otherwise it will be under wraps out back at my place, a virtual crime free village...

Might as well use the old one, and save the newer one for either selling for emergency cash, or to have down the road for another car.

I too own that alarm and it's awesome, and if like you say this area is !crime I would install the older one.

Well I think Im going to install the newer one.

Im going to buy another Beretta here soon (92 GTZ, Quad 4 w/manual) and will install the older one in that. The GTZ will be getting a bit of go fast work done to it and will be my primary car I think...

I still want an Alero but I might wait till spring.

Try to find a Honda. They run forever. GM's dont. You can probably also get one fairly cheap.

Sorry to hear about ur luck dude. Hopefully shit will turn around for ya soon.

The bitch of it is is cashflow...

Which is non existant right now for the next 3 weeks.

I have no extra cash, I have no rainy day savings...

No creidt... So I cant buy a car unless its for what I got in my pocket... <200$
