Where I am from in Maine is kind of the came way.
After 10 to 12 years a car becomes a rusted out crap box.
And they have state inspections and they will fail you for having a rusted out crap box.
In new Mexico I see a Chevy love still on the road and some really old fords too. With a typical day having 15% to 50% humidity it's like all the vehicles here are the ones rust forgot.
If I ever move back to Maine I will be looking in west texas, new Mexico or Arizona for an old used car.
I would rather pay $1,000 to $2,000 to ship a 20 or 30 year old car that cost $2,000 to $4,000 than buy a $10,000 car.
