Is buying a sports car from NJ a bad thing b/c of potential rust?




MKR


I'm looking for a used sports car. One car that has all the options I want happens to be located on the east coast, where it snows. I live in California. This particular car is very rare, only 200 on autotrader.com in the entire nation. Is buying a car from NJ a really bad idea because of potential rust/salt problems? As a California guy I really don't know but a buddy of mine said to stay away from all east coast and Florida cars. The thing is, this car has all the options i want, has only 20k miles, and the pics of the car look flawless, like it had only been driven in summer months. Also, is there a way to tell if the car has rust, some kind of inspection? Is it easy to spot? Thanks for your help!!
details of car: mercedes, 2003, sl500
correction: sl55, not sl500 ...thanks



Answer
True. New Jersey is in what is called the 'rust belt', and is bad for collector cars. However, it depends on the type of car and it's age. If you're wanting a brand new cobra mustang, then you're probably ok. However, if it's a 1966 Shelby Mustang, then I would have it checked out by a Mustang specialist, first. Could be that it is a Florida car and stored in the winter. Do you research before you plunk down your money.

If you play (or don't play) any kind of sport with numbers on the jersey (or car) what would be your number?

My daughters Soccer Jersey is 53 and she is the star of the team.
