Newer cars can be more complicating and more delicate.
The wire harness of my 2014 Kia seems very delicate is where I get that description from. And quite obviously the computers, variable valve timing, direct injection to name a few are more complicating. Well, even the headlight/taillight assembly are a much more complicating part.
You probably are interested in comparisons of build quality and reliability too. Not sure my observation clarifies any of that, but, I'd say if you have room and can afford it, have examples of both at the ready.
Good examples is what I mean, the older ones likely needing more maintenance when acquired, well the newer ones needing more research before acquiring. Of course, research on the older ones too before acquisition.
