    And the people who had those cars?

    Can park them at the edge of the city and take a train or bus.

    If they live in the city, they can just take a train or bus and don’t need to own a car if they can’t afford to.

    There’s still lots of these cars for sale in Germany. The fact that they haven’t all been exported to countries without such restrictions already, means they’ve been used in the meantime, since the restrictions have been in place a long time and a car that sits for too long is going to have a LOT of issues.

      @boonhet @0x0 they’ve got ten years from now in which they just need to remember not to buy a non-compliant one. The number of people still driving the same car they have now in ten years is small, surely.
