Modern cars are spy hubs on wheels, tracking your location, conversations, and behavior.

I looked at it at one point (quite a while back) and yes, it was more than a new car usually. It alone was about the price of a new car, like $30k IIRC (again, many years ago I think pre-covid even). You also need to include the car, so add a few thousand, or more depending on the car.
Closer to $50K. It’s a lot of specialized labor and those shops charge $200/hr.
Considering there aren’t any new cars I want and the average price of one is about that much it sounds good to me.
If I already have a car I like that sounds like an awesome deal.
Yeah, it’s definitely something to look into. It’s not a bad deal at least. It just costs a lot because it’s mostly unique work for a single vehicle, rather than a factory pumping out the same one over and over.
That’s fair yeah.. But I wouldn’t mind an EV, only an EV with all the data connection and all that bs, so this could be a good deal for me in the future
You will spend $50K on a car that is subsequently worthless.
Every car you buy is subsequently worthless.
