Then you'll have to buy only old cars as everything in the last few decades had its engine controlled by a computer or at least microcontrollers which are mini computers. You're looking at mostly pre-1990 cars. These were the cars you could easily hot-wire as they didn't have electronic security.

All the fuel for the car is pumped, refined and transported with electronics. Not to mention traffic lights.
