Maybe take a look on Deal Extreme, they have a section for vehicle trackers and the prices are usually pretty good.

I don't think my current car is on any thieves shopping list but I'd still like a tracker at some point.
Some of them feature separate antennas for GPS and Cellular signals, this might be a good thing when you consider a car is a large lump of metal.
I'm still looking for some reviews similar to those by techmoan on youtube, Perhaps I will ask him if he has any plans to review trackers.

All new cars should come fitted with these as standard. I'm still shocked at how many people buy €50,000+ worth of a car and then refuse to pay a few hundred to keep it tracked.

I have no experience with the cheaper tracker devices as shown above but I have seen some of the more expensive systems which are monitored by a company in the UK and the information received from them is received in almost real time. If you value your car in any way then it is a must have.

For me it would entirely depend on who stole it as to whether I would want the car back. If it was robbed by local scrotes to rally to death and generally wreck I never ever want to see the car again and in most cases your insurance company will give you new for new exchange on a brand new car. If the car is stolen to order for cloning or export out of the country then I would be interested in finding it as it would most likely be intact. The tracker may cause more financial loss than benefits for a new car. I've also heard of thieves carrying gps jammers which will make the tracker worthless.

I understand the sentiment behind that chain of thought. But, if you have a tracker and discover your car stolen relatively quickly it can/will be recovered within minutes/hours. Personally I would rather have the car back within hours than go through weeks of hassle with insurance companies.
