I take it that owners of old cars don't drive far, don't drive on freeways on Saturdays, or don't live near Perth CBD and western suburbs.
I think many of the older cars are perhaps car #2 and are doing short distances, or perhaps are in more remote areas.

I think that hail storm about ten years ago, followed by the insurance companies sent alot of cars to scrap metal.
It was hard to find cars in the 5-10k bracket, e series and the like for a couple of years there.
