This is why I buy cars older than 2015.

  My 1997 Range Rover has no screens and only 195,000 miles on the clock. I'm good for another decade or so.

    My 1999 was so rusted that I had to junk it. My 2024 is about the same yearly costs to have because nothing is worn out or rusted away. (EV is also a lot cheaper fuel)

    I've never seen one with a bad boot floor, but I need to do mine. Extra hassle because the propane tank needs to come out.
    With diesel the price it is, driving a 4.6 litre V8 that runs on propane is like driving a diesel that gets over 45mpg.
