So I just bought a 95 st hatchback and there are a few issues with it. First when I was driving it home today after I bought it I noticed the speedo , rpm, and temp gauge did not work, also the power windows will not work, and most importantly while I was almost home the headlights started to dime and the car died on me and I had to get a jump to get back home. Im pretty sure I need a new alternator but Im not sure if that would explain everything else thats wrong with the car.

with everything systematically shutting down/dying like that my first guess would be alternator. When it doesn't work, everything will run off the battery until it finally gives up the ghost.
