Those are good older cars! Did you replace the motor with an aftermarket unit or OEM part? One thing I have learned is with some components, getting the cheapest one can line you up for doing the job again in no time.

What make and model if you don’t mind me asking? Certain brands definitely cheaped out on the build quality around that time. I find older cars (late 90s, early 2000s) built by Toyota, Volvo, Mercedes, and BMW to be of incredible construction.

Not a strict guide, but privacy wise the earlier in the 2010s the better. If you can find a low mileage 90s/2000s that’s even more simple and less connected, but you begin to enter the age issue where everything rubber is disintegrating. Pretty much to care about your privacy in a car you have to become a little bit of a gearhead to keep some simple old beater healthy and maintained.

Yeah, how dare he be born in a different country/not have the finances to leave. Poor + bad + ratio, he is just as bad as Trump.

Don’t you see how fucking idiotic you are being? Bad things happen to a country when the people overwhelmingly lack empathy. You are a prime example of one of those people.
