Re: Security tracking charge

Just about finalized a deal on a new Liberty, and I see that
there is a charge of $259.00 (Canadian) for "Security Tracking".

be real careful on this there is a new scam from the dealers
now were they take a$ 10.00 kit and etch the glass on the car
with a id number and then slip this kind of outrages price

In one way it's a valid item. I did some checking on it. This
also includes them paying your deductable on your insurance if
it is stolen.

1) Jeeps are common theft targets - but I'd think mostly for joy
rides

2) If it's stolen for parts, it won't matter that some parts are
etched or engraved with a number. You won't be getting it
back in one piece (if at all), and numbers can be removed.

3) Don't buy any vehicle that can be hot-wired and driven away
without needing the real ignition key. That's your number-1
theft prevention feature. If it were available, I'd also get
laminated side glass.

4) The above-mentioned "security tracking" charge is most likely
a scam, but please do post back the details if you find out
what exactly it is.
