Do Boomers Like Modern Cars?

I'm Xennial and am currently shopping for a new whip - but I always see old people in old cars that look like they're falling apart. Is it that their social security isn't paying them enough that they can't afford anything new?

Modern cars suck; too much circuitry.
Also we do need to get rid of social security but you’ve gotta pay the people who already paid in because it’s literally their money.

It's the world we live in.
With each passing day there will be more circuitry in everything.
Remember when the refrigerator only kept your food cold? Now you can remotely view the inside of your refrigerator while at the grocery store.

People who buy brand new cars and finance them for 7 years are stupid.

No. Boomers like modern convertibles to augment their declining testosterone levels.
Too bad their plump wives can't fit in the narrow seats.

I am 65, I had classic cars when they were just ordinary used cars, 1969 GMC truck, 1973 Camaro, 1970 Malibu. Today's cars are better in every aspect, MPG is better, better brakes, better handling, more creature comforts, require much less maintenance, will usually gone 200K miles without major repairs. A car from the 60s,and 70s was worn out at 60K miles. The most important feature of today's cars vs "classic cars" are safety features. Odds of surviving a major accident in one of the cars of my youth was pretty low. I lost a number of friends to car accidents back then, had they been in one of today's cars they would still be here.

Base models today have features that were considered luxury 20 years ago. Modern cars are great.

Depends, if interest rate on the loan is close to 0 what difference does it make.
