Do older cars have O2 sensors, electronic EGR, TPS, computers, catalytic converters, BCM modules, ABS computers and sensors, direct coils, mass air flow, IAC valves, and so on and so on?

When these thing DO fail at one point, they are very costly and almost impossible for the average do it yourselfer to fix, and the car isn't worth spending money.

Outside of more frequent carburetor adjusting, spark plugs and filter replacements; could you nicely explain why an older car would not be reliable?

And do you have "anecdotal" evidence that modern cars are more reliable? Have you experienced both?
