That’s becoming less feasible with every day that passes.
Yes, with emission standards, old car purchases are not really encouraged here. I am looking for a fairly new used car and these features are already included in most of them.
Buy a used car, or don't buy a car at all and ride a bike, walk, or use public transit. Might have to move to a place that has busing, subways, bike lanes, etc. but it isn't impossible.
Depending on what you're trying to avoid, even 18 year old cars had OnStar gps that could in theory always track you unfortunately
Pretty much any device could also be removed, disabled, or prevented from transmitting/receiving.
This is what I do, but sometimes you have to ride in someone else's car. Trying to tell them you don't want to speak because its a god damn surveillance capsule doesn't go over well

Until someone blows a stop sign and turns it to scrap. You can only account for so much.
Parts will fast become an issue.
No they won’t. Many many parts are shared with accords, there are so many parts in junkyards it’s insane. The engines are still being made too.
The fuel economy is infinitely worse than a bolt
