Besides the irony of a privacy-conscious user using facebook to buy a car... those "perfectly-serviceable vehicles" are 1. no longer manufactured, and 2. will not last forever.

Unless a new age of unconnected cars becomes a reality in the near future, I don't see this being a long-term solution.



"will not last forever" doesn't comport with observed reality to date. There are literally model A's still on the road. Barring true oddities there doesn't appear to be a model of production vehicle that has gone extinct at any point in automotive history. Anyway, three of my cars are older than I am, and I am not a young man. Buying into their shit is optional.


Finding parts for older cars is a very real concern, aside from a handful of cars that are very popular with enthusiasts.


So pick a vehicle you can get parts for if you're worried, you've literally highlighted the solution to the problem you're claiming exists.


I meant to say their availability will not last forever.
