VW Has Spent Two Years Trying to Hide a Big Security Flaw

1993 Corolla with decayed paint. Utterly, utterly, reliable. Appears undesirable. It will also guarantee that you'll never get laid.

Nope. 90s Toyotas have eminently resalable parts and no immobilizer, making them far and away the most-stolen cars in America.

There are very high-end car thieves who want flashy cars, but the vast majority of car theft is about 1) ease and 2) what the parts are worth.

No way. Late-model Toyotas and Hondas get stolen a ton. Spare parts are still useful for tuners and sport compact car ricers.

Get an old American junker.

1993 is late model?

Good cars. Too wet here in the UK for something to last that long. My 2006 Fiat is on its way out already...

I know someone bought 1988 Honda. Made a sharp turn - front wheel fell off.
