Keep the plate off your Jetta and transfer it to the cheap car for $20 to save on new registration fees. Only real cost is insurance, which depending on your rates, might not be much anyway. No point in putting full coverage on it.
Car: $1500
Registration: $20
Insurance for 5 months: $500 (using my rate)
Sell car after 5 months: $+1250
Bang, essentially a 5 month rental for less than $800. Good luck finding an actual rental rate less than that. Plus no limits on how many kms you can put on the thing

It would be less than that since he would have had to pay insurance on the Jetta anyways.
