The previous owner took real good car of the body, the rear quaters are rust free, door hinges and door frame is rust free, hinges for the hatch and the hatch are rust free, the rocker panels have very minor surface rust at the very bottom where the metal is welded to the floor just below the doors (the part that you normally jack the car from, if that is the rocker panel).
I have looked under at the frame and it has a couple tiny spots (round circles) with very minor surface rust, in the engine bay the only place with rust is the usual spot on each side of the car at the top of the strut mounts near the fender, only other rust is on several replaceable parts (ie suspension parts and stuff) but nothing major at all where cutting out of frame/chassis/body is requried.
I haven’t gotten the car up on a hoist yet to fully inspect the bottom but it looks good.
I baught the car for around $5000 with all maintenance records for the last 5 years, the car has 155,000km.
It might sound expensive to some but with the way people are pricing them in the trader, i think i paid exactly what this car is worth, maybe less.
