Lojack?
Anyone have it installed by the dealer or directly from Lojack? And what was the cost, there website is absent of any pricing 
Do you even feel it's necessary or worth it. Thanks.

So hence the car's really doing nothing but sitting there. Plus the last thing a thief would want to do is run rampant in your car and draw lots of attention to themselves.
LoJack install from the dealership I saw was $650 when coming on a new car.

Well worth it. Have had Lojack on my last three autos including the Vette.
Don't get the car alarm option if they still offer it. It is very annoying.
We would have gotten the early warning version but something got lost in the communication.
Cost was about $600 lowjack comes to the dealer to install.
I even had one installed in my office parking lot. They do make house calls!
You also get a break on your insurance.

Most police departments in California have lo-jack tracking capability, unless somethings changed, it's not activated until you report the car stolen.

I had Lojack on my last 2 cars, the last one being a C5. It was $700 and I rolled it into my lease. Now, when I get my new C6, I will not be getting the Lojack. Two separate dealers agreed that if the car is stolen, you do not want it back. (Lojack tries to tout the fact that you get the car back quick without damage-I think if you are lucky!) Check with your insurance company and see if you have gap insurance, which I do. In that case, you will not owe anything if the car has to be replaced due to extensive damage or they just can not find it. True, there is an insurance break, but I thnk not enough to warrant spending $700.

Why Lojack at all when you have On-Star?
I should be getting my car next week but I thought I read somewhere that On-Star can track your car if its stolen-why would you want or even need Lojack if On-Star car track your stolen vehicle??? 
Am I missing anything here or was something lost in the translation?

Am I missing anything here or was something lost in the translation? Personally I like the idea of a key fob in my pocket with an ignition cut-off. That never seemed practical until now.

Thanks for all the replys and thoughts, im going to call my insurance company(State Farm) and see what the % disc is.And my state is a covered area by the police.
I agree with the theory that the thieves let the vehicle 'cool down' then chop it or ship overseas, so there not going to damage there potential profit.
