Old cars

Comment comment by Anonymous on 10 November 2007

Here in New Zealand, it is common for people to drive old cars. The average car age is 11 years, and slowly getting older as cars get more reliable. Cars here generally last between 20-25 years before being dismantled, unless they have major accident damage.

RE: Old cars by gnifyus :: NR7

If you are from the northern part of New Zealand, I imagine there is not much of a call to salt the roads for winter conditions like in the New England part of the U.S. where I live. The salt is what always takes the life out of our cars before their time. Of course without the road salt, major accidents would occur ending their life anyway. Aside from the temperate weather, why do you think the average age of cars is so high in your country?
