Dutch senior citizens: they are allowed on this blog every now and then a sneer, autoverkopend the Netherlands, she would prefer a warm hug on the parchment face. Without seniors was the industry there namely really disastrous.

Although young people, the automobile business, not the helping hand, provide the retirees for solace. And that is welcome in a time where we are on new diepterecords and bankruptcies are heading.

The number of people over 65 in the Netherlands, between 2000 and 2014, with 36% of 2.13 to 2.9 million. This is balanced by a doubling of the number of cars in their possession, of 750.000 to 1.5 million, according to the CBS. That are twice as many cars on the road, and therefore twice as many cars that regularly with a burnt clutch and abrasions for maintenance at the garages come in.
