Built-in bluetooth and HD radio are too new to find one that is "several years old."

you wont find any old radios with those features built-in. you can find radios that are "ready" for those features but even those should only be maybe a year or two old which might make it hard to find the adapter pieces for that radio. i dont even think you will find a new radio with bluetooth AND HD radio built-in.
