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.

    I drive a 30-yrar-old Honda.

    It’s totally worth repairing an old car.

    Learn more about total cost of ownership (TCO). My car costs a couple thousand a year in repairs and maintenance, but that’s significantly less than replacing it would cost. Your car might be similar.

      it’s also a lot cheaper, especially if you have shitty credit
