Vehicle has no power locks or windows.

You'd need to add power locks on them. That kit last time I looked was around 100-200$ without install.

Will you be installing it yourself because 200 installed at a shop would get you a pretty basic one way alarm. I'd suggest stretching your budget to a two way alarm I'd it was me.

The Avital 3303 is an excellent choice. Or the 5303 with the remote start added but it just ads more cost if you need a bypass which can range from 70-110$

I do not know how to install a car alarm.. And would like a two way alarm. I do not have power doors or locks. Remote start would be nice also.

Since you do not have the power door locks you will either have to install them yourself or get them installed. There are some cheaper kits out there for around 50-150$, which you could do depending on your wiring proficiency or you may have to have them installed by someone (extra money). The 5303 you can get off of amazon for around $130-180. Since your car is older you shouldn't need a bypass for the remote start which should save you about $70-110.

 

So in total for just the products you would need at-least 220 + plus 2-4 hours of install time which can run anywhere from $50-60 an hour.

 

Where at in California do you live?

If you were closer I could possibly help install it depending on my schedule.
