I just watched a youtube video of a brand new F150 that needed tail light replacements. Due to all the electronics (lidar IIRC), replacing both was around $5600. And, it prevented the truck from even starting. Just for tail lights. That's pretty much what you can get an entire engine installed for on an older vehicle. Parts for new vehicles are also very hard to obtain right now. Much easier to get parts for 15+ year old (domestic) vehicle.

These are, for the most part, nitpicked exceptions of expensive models or expensive optional upgrades. Get a new Civic or GR86 (or even Supra / V8 Mustang) and you won't have any of this. Yes, you can't turn off nannies on the Integra fully for example, but it's still a fuse away.

It won't even start so you can run it into a pole to properly write it off.
