If your looking for just a basic alarm you can probably find one for somewhere in the range of 175 to 300. Viper and Python are really good brands. I've been working with those 2 for almost 4 years now and I haven't really had that many problems out of them unless they are installed incorrectly. Python you can get at Circuit City, Viper you can get at Best Buy.

depends how good you are with electrics, just do some research before you do it. i would do it myself, saying that i have spent whole days cursing at my car trying todo some thing before now, but after the first attempt it always gets easier

I have the Viper alarm, and starter. It's pretty good. Only problem I have with it is that the alarm LED light stops flashing after awhile for some reason.....
