I have often thought the OEM’s should offer a version of their vehicles that don’t contain all of the advancements and safety features of the last 40 years.
They probably could sell them at a much reduced price for those that don’t like car prices of today. Of course the consumer would need to sign a waiver stating they won’t sue when they are injured or more likely killed when in an accident.
If you park a 35-40 year vehicle next to a new vehicle the differences are astounding.
Go look at the Mahindra Roxer...it's literally a 50yr old jeep (they bought the manufacturing rights to the original design). Only major difference is they put in a small diesel.
I believe the Roxer starts at about $14k. A new Jeep starts at about $25k. Makes a great case study of how much you pay for the new and modern.
Problem is they aren't street legal. How much of that is govt vs manufacturers pushing...who knows.
