In US are stolen about 800,000 to 1 million cars each year. While the most brands release a new version of their best cars almost yearly, the thieves still prefer older cars. Some of them have the (non) advantage of being component-compatible with the most releases of that model, and this feature makes thieves to love them. Below is the top 10.
10. TOYOTA COROLLA [2009]
The Toyota Corolla is one of the “best loved cars in America” according to Kelley Blue Book . It rates high on maintenance and resale value — and it gets decent gas mileage. The 2011 had just “minor cosmetic changes,” which means parts from prior year models can be used in the newer models, which makes the car very attractive to car thieves

09. FORD EXPLORER [2002]
The Ford Explorer is one of the most popular SUVs on the market. People love the vehicle because it has the functionality of an SUV but also has style and comfort. Because they’re so popular, Ford hasn’t made too many changes in subsequent models, except for improvements to safety and roominess. You know what that means — thieves love them for the parts!

08. ACURA INTEGRA [1994]
The Integra makes the stolen list because it was a popular vehicle that Honda made from 1985 to 2007 that people liked to buy and soup up “Fast and Furious” style with everything from engine modification to enhanced suspension and blinged-up wheels, Keah explains.
