@AlphDoti....I think they are stolen because those particular parts in those cars are easy to pluck off.That is the only reason....it is not that market is more or that some drivers are more "careless".

Market is created once they are stolen....If you steal 10 grills....you now have about 7 customers.The other 3 or so will go for brand new.
Formally employed people often live their employers' dream & forget about their own.

tend to agree with @Alpha, why the specific models, why not say the mazda demio or the nissan note or the peugeots, or the lancers

Shame on you Shame on you Mboyz! mboyz! mboyz! Test drive a Landcruiser V8 and then maybe, just maybe, we can discuss cars.

Now they are plucking off the front grill?
You know why, right? Because they now have a market, Subaru owners are now buying second-hand (90% stolen from other owners)!!!

I'm not trying to sound harsh, but why buy a car and you cannot maintain it? Go to the dealer and buy new, to stop this manace.

Congratulation to my fellow Honda owners.
So far we try and buy new from the dealers.
That's why we still have peace of mind, nobogy is targetting Hondas yet.

Please, remember when you got to River road, that's vicious cycle. Resist the temptation.



Talk of choices and consequences. This car is suddenly popular possibly because of its cost. Running costs are a different thing altogether. Never seen a time when had many imprezas like now!


Now, they plucked mine yesterday on Kenyatta Avenue, just opposite National Bank. I don't think the cause of this phenomenon is Subaru owners buying fake parts. I think it is the fact that there are many such cars and that this particular part is very easy to pop. It's self supporting thievery. For every single one you pluck you create a customer right there - your victim.

That being said, anyone knows where I can buy a new one? Haven't actually asked any further than from my usual mechanic, and he says he doesn't stock them. I hope I can avoid running the risk of indulging the thieves by buying a used one.
