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.
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.
