Not a strict guide, but privacy wise the earlier in the 2010s the better. If you can find a low mileage 90s/2000s that's even more simple and less connected, but you begin to enter the age issue where everything rubber is disintegrating. Pretty much to care about your privacy in a car you have to become a little bit of a gearhead to keep some simple old beater healthy and maintained.
Currently driving a 2008, it's just not holding together very well regardless of what I am doing. Just replaced the motors for the electric windows, took all of one month for one of them to fail again.
What make and model if you don't mind me asking? Certain brands definitely cheaped out on the build quality around that time. I find older cars (late 90s, early 2000s) built by Toyota, Volvo, Mercedes, and BMW to be of incredible construction.
Mazda 3. Engine is mostly fine, but the interior is just dying. Overall I'd call it well built for the price... But almost 20 years takes its toll.
Those are good older cars! Did you replace the motor with an aftermarket unit or OEM part? One thing I have learned is with some components, getting the cheapest one can line you up for doing the job again in no time.
