So, Mr Chest has found an honest 2002 model with just over 50K miles. One owner only. It has been used as a daily driver but is still very presentable. Test drive later this morn. It has however started to show a rust scab on both sides of the rear arches where the sill meets the arch, at the arch end of the panel seem. This is common. Can any body enlighten me as to whether this IS the start of something nasty or just superficial that can be totally irradiated by a competent body shop?? This car, in spite of the split & ruined drivers foot well, and surface rust spot on the drivers door step where the plastic step trim has chaffed through paint screams 'Take me home' I must not loose sight of the fact that I am buying a B to drive. Not as a trinket, show piece or an extension. It will be well cared for and D.R.I.V.E.N. Constructive comments welcomed. Ch Ch
