It's the one with the slightly upscale interior.

#4 They're not smuggling the cars into Mexico, 'moose. They steal 'em from wherever they can, and drive them to Mexico. My niece's husband works for a maintenance shop up in Loveland. They get all the stolen car reports, so they can be on the lookout for someone trying to do something shady. The cars are usually stolen in Denver or the surrounding area, then driven south on I-25 to El Paso. From there, they either cross the Rio Grande along some deserted stretch, or across the desert and across the border. The stolen vehicles are usually in Mexico within 24 hours, sometimes in as little as twelve. Similar thefts take place in Albuquerque, San Antonio, Dallas, Houston, Phoenix, Tucson, and southern California. Apparently it's a $10 million a year problem.

#5 Nearly every vehicle seized in the various busts in northern Mexico are stolen. It's big business as far as I can tell.

#6 #4 - $10 mil at $20,000 per vehicle is only 500 vehicles. My guess is the total amount is much, much higher.
