buddy computer are NOT to be trusted unless you know how it works. real ones only use mobile phones because society practically forces you to. the less computers the better

Then you'll have to buy only old cars as everything in the last few decades had its engine controlled by a computer or at least microcontrollers which are mini computers. You're looking at mostly pre-1990 cars. These were the cars you could easily hot-wire as they didn't have electronic security.

All the fuel for the car is pumped, refined and transported with electronics. Not to mention traffic lights.
