How much is a car alarm system?

I just bought a used car that doesn’t have an alarm system. I’m using a steering wheel lock, but I would feel much safer with an alarm system. How much would this cost?

An aftermarket alarm system typically costs between $200 and $300. There may be an additional installation cost if it’s not included. Keep in mind that these prices will vary depending on:
  • The vehicle’s year
  • The vehicle’s make and model
  • The seller
