Wonder why some of these older models are continually so popular? Did they contain hard to find parts that were maybe only used for 1 year? Or maybe common parts but that year was really easy to steal? It just seems really odd that there would be a market for 15-20 year old car parts that would top the list. Cars that don't appear to be anything really fancy either.
