Any cars out there under 30k that are completely manual and don’t have a screen, that I can repair myself? No? Well, I’ll never buy a new car then, fuck you automakers.
We had millions of those types of cars 20 years ago, now they’re nonexistent.
I’ll even get an electric if its completely analog. But they refuse to do that even though it takes very very little effort. An electric car is (mostly) a voltage regulator a motor and a battery. Its not hard people.
There used to be a car like that, could get a manual and you could fix it yourself - on the rare occasion it needs work.
It was the 2014-2024 Mitsubishi Mirage, and the entire US made fun of it. That’s what happens when someone makes a cheap, dependable, simple car in the US, people act like it’s the worst vehicle ever made because you can see exposed screw heads when you open the door.

If you want to raise your chances of dying substantially over a backup camera you can go right ahead. Please sign your organ donor card first though.
EU mandates an SOS call function as well, so a data connection is also basically mandatory.
I drive a 2013 Miata with 6 speed manual rear wheel drive configuration and it has no tracker and no screen.
