Thanks to Dave Bowers I got a VIN check on the vehicle and it was bought new in New York. 1 accident (minor), sold in Florida in 1997, then sold in WA in 1998 and been here ever since. SO...knowing this I would think that underbody rust could be a problem being on the northeast for many years. I didn't do a total inspection, just an initial look and test drive. I will probably find things I don't want to see if I look at it again. Thanks to all who responded to my initial post. Still hunting... Rich Blake |
