I hear you bro, I got 10 years on you and I don't have 1200 lying around for an alarm either. Honestly though, I would just get a stereo shop special and an autolock. I say this because unless you have an anti-carjack system, digital tilt/motion sensor, or immobilizer on ur alarm, it's just an alarm. I've got all of the above, and then some, on my alarm and an Autolock.

You can get everything you mentioned from several car alarm companys for 250-300 bucks installed.
But yeah im sure most of the people on here know what being in this position feels like, this is my first car, i just got it a week or so ago, and am now almost broke, had to take a loan to even get it so now i am really screwed on having money to mod it for quite a while, luckily the people before me upgraded the stero, so i can live with it...for now
Plans...Alarm, intake, exhaust (hopfully re-do whole cat-back, depending on cash flow), stereo, lower/re-do suspention (sway-bars, stuff like that)...
Dont know exactly what order, but hopfully it will get done sooner or later.

I once made the mistake of thinking an alarm is an alarm is an alarm, that mistake costed me roughly 7g's(89 ef sedan, bought for 2g's, spent 5g's modding it). I paid $300 for my alarm(Viper 300ESP),in retrospect, another $300 on a good alarm and I'd have my car today, I don't know about you, but I would have rather spent another $300 than lose 7g's. And keep in mind, your car is on the top ten list of most stolen cars in the country

I have had my Clifford since my car was brand new. Yes, I payed a lot for it bur I wanted something decent. Today, after almost 8 years, the only things I have to buy are a siren and a new remote. It rarely has false alarms and has been a really reliable one!

Well, if that's the case, try not to drive your car as much as possible. Get an Autolock (not Club) for like $60 or something. And try not to mod your car (until you can afford a good alarm).
Just be careful out there!
