Great use of data there Mr Z.

I've wondered the same looking at how few Falcon wagons survive compared to the Commodore ones. I concluded the Fords were more likely to be fleet and run to high kms/into the ground earlier, while the Holdens probably attracted more private buyers who kept them over the years, like my mum and dad.

Also, yes, the cars would get to the stage where the head gasket or transmission is more expensive to replace compared to value of the car, and it's see ya later wrecking time for most of those.

It will be interesting to see how today's more complex/expensive to repair cars go through this value/scrapping point.
