Worst car ever purchased

Was told the car just needed new tires and brakes but when I took it to get the work done the mechanic said it had the worst case of cancerous rust to the entire undercarriage and could not try to repair it and the car should not be driven. It should have been sold for salvage only. It is still sitting at the shop because I can’t get repairs done to be able to drive it.
