Then it's $$$$.

Even my 18 year old VW. When the auto door locks went there was no back-up -- couldn't lock the dang car. Needed a gizmo from VW that was no longer made. Same with the key fob. Found one on eBay to my good fortune. As did my mechanic with the gizmo to power the locks.

Give me simple. It lasted. And NO, I DO NOT want a new car.
