I can see a ban in larger cities. Still, if there are no smog checks, whos to say newer vehicles polluted less? I still see a few other than mine on the road, W123s. Its winter so some pull their cars off the road. I see more W123s than say Ford Contours etc. The only other vehicle I see a bunch of from say the 80s and 90s is Jeep Cherokees. Those are in a split category. Rough use and soccer moms. I have three presently. Two of them running. Also a Comanche, not running. Also, people basically rebuild them. They are not high dollar, so people use them. How many of the old 911s do you see? I bet a bunch of them are hanging out in the garage, when the prices skyrocketed.
