My current car is old. I had a lot of repairs done on it recently. If I get a new car, I don’t want features. Lane assist, backup camera, DUI Camera, telemetry, auto breaking or other frankly silly features. Call me grumpy, but I find modern cars very distracting.
Can I ask a dealership to disable these at purchase? Is there a car that works best for being private besides just older cars?
I drive very little in a year. No, I can’t ride a bike.
Given that new cars are very expensive, and you don’t want new-car features, you might be better off putting significant money into maintaining your old car.
People usually only do that with collectable cars they expect to increase in value or enthusiast cars they drive for fun, but you can spend quite a bit on maintenance before it’s as expensive as new-car depreciation.
