adding a backup cam is like $20, dude. it cost me a little more to put Bluetooth, Apple CarPlay, front and rear dashcams, and a touchscreen into my 97 Honda, but it still wasn't an unreasonable amount. my other car's a 97 BMW (with far less miles on it, well under 100K) and I'll do a slightly more deluxe version of all the same upgrades once the weather gets nice.
of course both my cars have power windows. the Honda interior is nothing to write home about but the BMW's all leather and wood. neither has heated seats, but I don't really need them where I live, and if I did, I'd just buy them on eBay.
it'll get harder in future, of course, but for now, if you want to skip all the excess computation in modern cars, all you have to do is know a little bit about cars. it's not rocket science.
what I'm really looking forward to is when electric vehicle aftermarket conversion kits become more common. you can find them for certain models already but it's very early days.
