You need to see behind the fuse area where rust shows up around the windshield, for example, as well as under the floor trim, rear corners, etc.
Where are you?
Ok cool - the seller has been very good about pics, and I have probably 20 now. I have seen the roof, under all the wheel wells, the undercarriage (no dripping / leaking), the top of the motor, etc, suspensions, leaf springs, etc.
Those leaf springs look a bit rusty of course, and she leans a bit to the driver's side which I understand is standard wear and tear. There is some superficial rust here and there on the components underneath, touch on the rims, touch on the undercarriage, nothing a metal brush wouldn't solve.
Questions!
1 - The fuse area - is it
inside up under the dashboard at the windshield I should look at?
The bed area in the back looks ok, nothing worse than a 10 year old pickup, and nothing rust wise that has gone through, no bubbling paint etc.
2 - I can ask to look under the floor mats in the "back seat" area, otherwise it's looked pretty decent. Are there other trouble areas I may have missed?
3 - Can I share some of the photos with you guys so you can see the undercarriage?
I will follow up with the dealer, I think in the first emails he said it was alu-zinc. I'll look. Of course I will ask for that on paper!
