Don't buy a high end car that has a high theft rate. Research theft rates like you would reliability and resale. Buy a plain vanilla mid-level toyota, honda or the like. Insure your car.
- vonmoltke 11y agoThe "plain vanilla" cars are the ones with the highest theft rate: http://www.forbes.com/sites/jimgorzelany/2014/08/18/the-most-stolen-new-and-used-cars-in-america/ http://www.forbes.com/sites/jimgorzelany/2014/08/18/the-most... It has been this way for about two decades. It is much easier for thieves to slice-and-dice a common vehicle into hard-to-trace parts, since the hot parts will disappear into a sea of legitimate used and reconditioned parts. High-end cars are comparatively rare, and thus harder to dispose of discreetly.
- a3n 11y agoInsurance should be cheaper on a plain vanilla car.
- CamperBob2 11y agoI don't always buy new cars, but when I do, I don't let car thieves pick the make and model.
