Off lease which is about 4 years or so, will be on the used section of the dealers lot for a bit. But 7-8 years old, they are gone. Used independent dealers will keep older cars, but still, there are very few of them for the numbers of new cars being sold and used here. Also, our emission requirements sends a lot of post '88 cars to the crusher now. Pre '88 are exempt, but most of these which are rare, are very well kept, or Mother nature has reclaimed them naturally. ;-)
