I don't think you will see any cars touting AC or power windows as luxury features. These systems tend to be very reliable too.

You may enjoy more of these "luxury" features without them breaking if you stay away from the used domestics. I'm always replacing stupid stuff on my Dodge RAM 2500; blower resistors, door switches, speed sensors, calipers; and not so stupid stuff like fuel pumps, transmission, differential bolts, AC...

My Subaru - 240,000 miles - replaced clutch at 120,000 miles (due to previous owner).

My TSX - 75,000 miles - No repairs.
