2016 Hyundai Elantra GT Risk Assessment

I own one of these with the 2.0 naturally aspirated engine and 6 speed automatic transmission. I keep hearing these are lemons due to main bearing failure, premature transmission failure, and piston ring failure. I'm currently at 68,000, no warranty. No issues other than minor oil consumption (1qt about every 2,000 miles) and some cosmetic stuff. Just how likely are the catastrophic issues? Like, percentage wise? I'm in a low crime rate area so I'm not as worried about Kia boys. Should I get rid of it or take the gamble?

Would You Say this Ol' Girl is Worth Saving?

I revived this thing after it sat for 19 years and am not sure if I should put more money into it or just buy a different less rusty one. Runs good but needs tune up, 220,000 miles, manual transmission, new fuel tank, fuel pump, and fuel pump hanger, new tires, I replaced the gear lube in the transfer case, transmission, and axles. The frame isn't too rusty but a lot of the suspension components are pretty rusty, it needs a new radiator and hoses, it leaks oil from multiple different places, exhaust has leaks, paint is bad and the body has some rust, suspension rattles loudly whenever I hit a bump and I'm not sure why.

EDIT: I'm keeping her. Time to fluid film the undercarrige, do the timing belt, replace valve cover gaskets, get new headers and pipes, and a new radiator. This old road warrior will be here for as long as I can keep her going.

Does Anyone Know Anything About the Walmart Building Maintenance Jobs?

I'm talking about technical maintenance (plumbing, electrical, hvac, etc.) not cleaning. Seems like a good job and I've heard the pay is good. Anyone on here doing this or know anything about it?
