For the same reason, when in Tijuana, I am always in a clean t-shirt, jeans & sneakers.
When in Tijuana, there's a lot to be said for the benefits of 'blending-in' with the locals and not sticking out in a crowd.

I guess there may be exceptions. I once saw a new, bright-yellow Corvette stopped by the Fuzz right in front of Hotel Nelson. But, again, my money's on a narco, not a felony-stupid gringo.
My "normal" TJ car is a 2003 Honda, which is sort of a beater, although I keep it mechanically sound. I also drive a late model Hyundai and an older BMW. But the reason I prefer the older Honda is not cop avoidance, but maniac mitigation. The way the locals like to play bumper cars prevents me from wanting to drive a nice car in TJ. I'm always nervous in my Hyundai, and rarely nervous in my Honda. If I get a scratch or ding on the Honda it's not the end of the world, and it's easier to play chicken with locals who may be driving a new car.

I drive in Tijuana constantly. I've been pulled over like 3 times. My only rules are that I won't drive in the Zona Norte after dark, and if I'm clubbing I always take an Uber. After a close call with an alcoholmetro (sp?) one night, I no longer drive if I'm going to the clubs. I don't need the hassle.
One reason the cops target cars in the Zona is because of the very high probability that the driver has been drinking.

Thanks guys for the intel. Yes risky driving in Tijuana but some of us have our reasons. Funny story I parked a couple weeks ago in malquerida parking structure. Had to go back to car to get my luggage. Cop was patrolling parking structure came up to me and was questioning me. I too drive a late model car anything but flashy. He was asking if I had drugs searched my whole car and me came up short. Got the feeling he wanted to try to shake me down. Don't know about the rest of you but if your scared of the cops they can smell it and will procede to rob you blind. If you are not carrying drugs or weapons they are powerless to do much. Most people get in trouble in the zona because they are doing stuff that is illegal. If your there for the girls and booze only you shouldn't have any issues the vast majority of the time.

Posts: 657Driving Risks. . . Avoid with Beater car
I've driven into Tijuana for years and my experience is that if you drive a nice car (especially jeeps, 4 x4's or sports cars) or truck that the underpaid Tijuana Policia like, expect to be pulled over and ticketed or shaken down for mordida. If you drive an old beater, then you will avoid problems. For this reason, I drive an old beater truck and avoid the envy problem caused by flashy cars that the Policia can't afford and but want. This problem is not isolated to Tijuana; my aunt used to drive a Cadillac years ago in California until she realized she was getting ticketed over and over. One of the cops even told her that someone who could afford a Cadillac, could afford a ticket. She got rid of the Cadillac and her ticket problems went away. How can you tell not to drive a car into Tijuana? If the cops keep pulling you over, then you have a car or truck that draws their attention and makes them envious of you. And being a rich tourist in a flashy car can get expensive or dangerous in Tijuana.
