Rust inspection for used car in NE

chowtoo · 04-11-2022, 10:21 AM

I have two "rust belt Zs" that get less rust than one "Florida by the sea" car (I used to live in Florida before buying my Zs). I keep my Zs in a car bag with desiccants in the winter and early spring and I do not drive them in the rain. Although the probabilities are that a "rust belt" Z my have more rust than one from a more moderate weather location, it is not a sure thing.

I'm south of the 'burgh. There's no rust on my Z.
