I'm thinking of buying a car. What is some advice? How do I maintain privacy in a modern car? (reddthat.com)

Context:

I don't want the car reporting to insurance hard breaks and such. But frankly I just find these things creepy and I just want a base model car.

I only saw a few people saying this, but buy a used car from anywtime-2012 max.

Make sure that car is in good shape, has been up to date on oil changes and was well taken care of. And if you wants some newer car features, adding in a newer stereo could do the trick.

But get used to learning how to fix your car because less cars will be made that meet your requirements. Meaning that if you don't to sacrifice privacy for a new car when yours breaks down, be ready to fix it.
