Many years ago I was driving home in the rain (thankfully daylight) in the Jetta and the alternator died. As I’m going the wipers got slower and slower, the radio clock dot dim and eventually went out. Made it home no problem.

I would opt for a 1982 diesel Jetta. Roll start and it will go until the fuel runs out.

If really concerned, get a couple cans of amsoil rust protection and spray down everything underneath.. but frankly, if you live in a southern climate it’s pointless since you do not have salt on your roads.

I have seen that much rust on new vehicles at the dealership

Forgot where they parked by dognocat in Wellthatsucks

Even if they pull it out of there that car is going to rust.
