I feel like we are missing something here.

I wonder how many miles it would take for the cost of 19/29 MPG of the Chrysler to match the cost of repairs for the v-dub.

Are the numbers for both cars EPA? I wonder what would happen to those numbers with a few minor "improvements". You mentioned it would have needed new tires, with new LRRs, I wonder if the MPG would be better than 30/42. That and maybe a taller gearing if he needed to replace the trans.

But it sounds like it's all in the past as he already traded it in.

OMG! I miss these commercials!
