That's why I posted my results. You're car may have failed because it had used oil and a used oil filter in it and perhaps the tester didn't run your car for three minutes on the dynanmometer before doing the actual test.

It's interesting though how you see it as saving money to have an older car and I agree. lol, once the car can no longer depreciate in value it actually becomes cost effective to run as long as the car gets decent gas mileage.

Although the newer cars do provide more "protection" in the event of an accident, and that should be considered as well.
