I got the best way to avoid repos....pay the thing off and dont miss payments afterall the trucks 12 years old? you cant even get a car loan for that in new york state..
Funny a guy came to look at my old lincoln for sale yesterday....because he was going through a divorce and they came and "took" his 2006 ram......Ouch

You want to know the best way to not get your truck broke into??? Keep the expensive **** out of sight! What is someone going to get for an average second gen ram on the street? Not more than $5000....plus they run the risk of getting a felony for grand theft. Now I walk by see your truck with a nice head unit, ipod, gps sitting on the dash, all im goin to do is bust your window out grab the electronics, go thru the truck trying to find an emergency credit card or anything else worth some money. In less than 2mins Im already leaving and got enough stuff to sell to make me some decent cash. Plus I can get rid of any of that stuff at any local pawn shop. Little harder to get rid of a stolen vehicle.

^ That's why radios have removable faceplates.
I actually took it off and kept it with me when I drove the convertible.
Little more secure in my truck, and I'm not in Dallas anymore.. lol.

Starter kill, Fuel kill, Dual alarms (wires are built into the stock harness), Battery backup (hidden), Glass sensor, and a mile radius 2way pager system, and its expandable too! p.s. i'd be there quicker than a pitbull on mayonnaise . Now i'd be screwed if i lost my remote on my keychain..lol



peace.

that's when they bust out a tow truck beside all you have to do is make payments like everyone needs to I hope that everyone on here does the best they can to make their payments that they promised to make when they signed the loans.
the pager is a good idea it at least tells you something is going on. the alarm you have is a good one but when they don't get the car people like me would just come back with the cops and a court order for the car.
