Car manufacturers are loading all kinds of electronics on to new cars, including spy software, and load up the cost for it as well.

I think rust might kill the car way before it's engine is ready to keel over. 😶 I'm hoping the car will last a few more years. I don't care much for appearances. One major advantage of an old car is that [bad] people won't take interest in it. To me that's priceless. 👌

Is it worth having the exterior fixed?
