Wow... if that's considered "rusty" I wonder what he would think of this?  :22yikes:




Honestly Mike, I think your car looks pretty good, and probably has less rust than most cars I see around here (south-eastern Ontario, Canada). 15K might be a little bit high (with the nose-dive the economy took in September and all), but I'm sure it'll get back up there again.

Sometimes it's easier to make an excuse rather than just say, "I have changed my mind, I can't afford it, or my wife told me NO."  Your car doesn't look bad at all for a driver.  Besides, this is rusty!
OMG - I had a car that looked JUST like that one.  I bought it in a package deal for the purple car in my avatar.  The owner told me it was only good for parts and I did not believe him until it arrived from NY.  I opened the door and the car collapsed in half   :roflsmiley:  I ended up getting my money's worth out of it.  I got the trim pieces I needed for my car and cut the rest of it up and sold it for parts.

I think he was just looking for a way to back out of the deal.  It looks like a typical, very clean driver and the under body usually gets blasted with road grime and debris first and that's all I'm really seeing.  Sure, parts are eventually going to get a little surface rust here and there over time, but I wouldn't go so far as to say your car is rusty. :2thumbs: :cheers:

I agree totally!

I agree, he was just looking to back out of the deal. Was probably uthustler lol. I would not waste any more time on the tool if it were me. Drop him like a hot rock.
