Hi Everyone,
I am concerned about some underbody rust on a potential buy.
Attached are some pictures, and I would appreciate it if anyone would care to take a look at them to offer opinion.
The current owner had supposedly kept the car in a garage while not adding too many KM to the vehicle since he bought it 13 years ago.
The car was completely undercoated against rust which makes it difficult to know what the actual situation is. But when looking into the inside of the back wheel arches, I could notice rust flakes coming from the flange running through the middle arch. When the car was put on a lift, the most serious rust showed to be around the jacking points (see pictures).
I realize the only way of telling the true condition of the vehicle is by taking a look at it. I'm just wondering if the pictures can tell you something. Apart from 2-3 rust bubbles the rest of the car body looks in a good shape.
Thanks
