Most owners of these old crap boxes are elderly - 70+, on the dole/unemployed, or students. None are the type who do long distance freeway driving.

They might even be people who don't wish to be in debt owning ???? (usually the bank owns) or (sponging off the tax system to buy new) a crap new tin box full off electronic wizardry no one can fix on the side of the road.
Could be some people like myself like older stuff, cars included.

This logic suggests everyone should bulldoze their old Victorian, Federation, Edwardian houses to make way for leggoland pine MCmansion housing estates.
