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.

    Keep your existing car until it gets too expensive to repair. Find a similar car with low miles and then rinse and repeat. Do not waste your money on a new car.

      That’s hopefully the plan. My worry is eventually I’ll have to get a newer car one day. But, until that day, I will stick to my car I have. Buying new seems silly.
