If bad luck is getting hit by other cars, then it sounds like safety is what is best. Get something with lots of airbags and a top crash safety rating.

If bad luck is getting horrible fuel economy, then get a hybrid to help offset poor driving efficiency skills.

If bad luck is cars that break down, get a car known to be reliable, such as most Hondas and Toyotas.

...and buying new is just guaranteeing bad luck of massive depreciation.

Judging by this list, Hondas and Toyotas don't seem any better than the others. Car Problem Trends | CarComplaints.com
