How has your 370Z held up?

Yeah. Like I said in my post, my experience was not typical and I don't expect most owners to deal with those issues...most people usually get one or two of them.

There is almost no coating on anything underneath the car, at least on the ones I have seen.

The va weather is admittedly different, but the z did not see salted roads at all.

When I'm back on a computer, I can post up some underbody pics.
The xbrace, etc was not a major concern, but axles, hubs, frame, etc were.

While what you mention is scary, rust is often self-limiting and there are MANY old mustangs from the 60's with a rusted rear axle that are doing just fine. Can you further elaborate on what rusts?

Your car had serious issues, but I cannot believe you got anything but a lemon. If that were a typical experience...wow.
