Driving old vehicles worse than junking them and buying new?

But if 10+ year old cars are passing the emissions test (legitamitely) then what is the problem?

Agree, I just had my Acura Integra emission tested and behold, it passed with better results than most newer cars.

Where the limit was 200, I was at 16!! 0.06 vs 1.00 limit.

I'm all for an incentive program for thousands of dollars offered off the price of new vehicles. I still drive my 1995 dodge stratus. It still has a fair bit of life left in it.

However, if the new vehicles can be had for $3000 to $10000 less, than 2 to 3 year old used prices will drop accordingly. I'd love to get a nice 2006 with low kms for a quarter of the new price...
