Sorry, heated seats, cooled seats, big screen in the dash, 18 way seats, 10 speed transmissions, mirror warning lights, backup cameras and the rest of the gadgets and doo dads people now want are not compatible with that idea.

AM radio, 2-55 A/C with wing windows, manual windows, floor vents, headlights, side mirrors and it takes a few minutes to warm up. Still has 450 HP 500 ft lbs of torque and gets 17 mpg and a pleasure to drive even without cruise control.

For a lot of electrical problems(not dash warning lights) you can get a long way with a battery charger and a simple voltmeter

Most of the fears about vehicle electronics is a little overblown
 
I like 80s/90s early 2000s cars and trucks for daily use. Most have good options that make using them regularly a pleasure, have a little panache and are still easy to fix….especially Japanese stuff.

I get lots of conversations at fuel pumps and other places about my 4Runner and Ram. People like em.

I would love to have an 80s Celica or Supra.

No freeloading…

I’ll bet it has one of those newfangled passenger side mirrors.
Nope. It wasn't even an option when originally sold. It is the classy model driver side mirror though. The little joystick near the vent window still works and it has the cranks for the vent windows. We're talking about first class options here

The next time I have the gauge cluster out of my 86 Pontiac all the bulbs will be removed except for turn signals and night illumination. The aftermarket oil pressure, volt and temp gauges under the dash are all that's needed. Plus I removed the ECU and all of it's wiring a while ago so the service engine light is always on.
