RUST
Rust isn’t as big an issue as it used to be, but can still afflict cars. CertainToyota trucks are very prone to chassis rot—as numerous class-action
lawsuits attest to. Make sure you look underneath any car you’re interestedin. And here is where CARFAX and AutoCheck are especially useful: if the
car’s history shows lots of time spent in the Midwest or Northeast, makesure you inspect it thoroughly for rot.
More common now is cosmetic damage to chrome trim from magnesiumchloride and other chemicals used in lieu of road salt. This can be
expensive to fix, as you need to replace the parts, and many are veryexpensive. Get some quotes if you see fading, delamination, or spill-like (^)
blemishes on grills and other chrome parts.
