Thread: Quick news: Thieves avoid Prius; winter increases 4x4 values

Toyota's hybrid least stolen car in US; potential bad weather makes prices rise Toyotas Prius is the least stolen car in the US, with one in 606 models stolen compared to the national average of one in 78. The National Insurance Crime Bureau, which carried out the survey, reckons thieves avoid the car because it doesnt contain enough parts that will fit other vehicles.
Values of four-wheel drives are on the rise as winter sets in, according to auction firm BCA. Prices rose by 16 per cent last month to over 13,000 and BCA predicts further rises. There is a well charted trend between falling temperatures and rising values for 4x4s, and we would expect to see that continue in the next few months, said a spokesman.
