    Why would i sell a perfectly functioning car?

    To buy one that doesn’t fall afoul of regional emission restrictions, e.g. the ULEZ in london

    what’s preventing selling of old ones?

    Nothing, eventually they will find their way off the road through accumulated wear/damage. perhaps further down the road due to lack of access to fuel sources.

      That’s cute but in my neck of the woods used cars are severely underpriced (unless you buy all the parts from a scrapyard, then they’d cost quite a lot) and new cars are generally overpriced anyway,
