Keeping an old car that has already been produced running is almost always the most environmentally friendly choice instead of throwing it away and producing a new car. The only reason to upgrade should be the changes in safety technology.

Cars are rarely thrown away if they’re still operational (which was one of the huge problems with cash for clunkers, those were crushed).

The best reason to buy new is that your mission has changed and the available used vehicles don’t provide a cost effective resource.
