    There’s plenty of older cars sitting in used lots. You can avoid newer cars if you buy one of those or simply keep up with the maintenance on your vehicle. Even if the engine dies, its replaceable.

        Rust is repairable unless the frame’s structural integrity has been compromised. That much rust is an oddity, even in the rust belt. Many owners undercoat their vehicles which significantly prolongs the life of the vehicle.

        If you’re really against purchasing a modern car, as I am, you still have plenty of options.

        A new car is going to cost you thousands anyway. Why not just invest that money in a car you already like?
