Blue Link is competitive with GM's OnStar, which is now available in all cars compatible with the new stand-alone OnStar FMV product. OnStar costs $18.95 a month or $199 a year for the basic protection plan or $28.90 a month or $299 a year for turn-by-turn navigation and other navigation services. OnStar's basic protection is comparable with Blue Link's Assurance & Essentials, which costs $20 less a year than OnStar's package. The Blue Link package offers greater multiyear discounts and has features including voice text-messaging and a recall adviser system.
1 Generally, materials for a typical residential chain link fence (2 mesh, 9 or 11 gauge) might cost $3-$6 a linear foot for 4' high or $8-$15 a foot for 6' high, depending on whether it's galvanized or vinyl coated. 2  A gate can add $100-$350 or more, depending on size (walking or driving width), gauge and mesh. For example, Production Fence Works in Georgia estimates average cost for an 8' high, 60'x100' fence around a single tennis court with a single walk-in gate at $9,200. 2  Because of its open weave, a chain-link fence is transparent. 3  To make it more opaque, metal, wood or vinyl privacy slats can be woven into the mesh.
