not a bad trade at all. I'm not a fan of the Cavalier, especially with the 2.2. Congrats!

I'm not plugging this for any reason but I know it works and is great stuff...I think POR15 would be your best friend. POR = paint over rust, you sand it smooth, remove the dust from the rust and sanding, & paint over it with the POR15 paint and rust will take a LONG LONG time to ever show up again, if it ever does show up again in that spot. If I had the $ I would pickup some myself, my Dakota really needs it.

Have fun with the new ride, definitely a trade up!

Oh and just to warn ya, when posting pictures of your vehicle you should always black out the license plate # either before you take the photo using a black piece of cardboard over it or edit the photo using "mspaint"/"paint" for instance. I've heard of cases where people have seen pictures of people's license plates and decided to report them just to be a-holes (such as calling the cops and saying someone just got in an accident and give them the license plate number in your picture or saying you did something illegal etc.). Kind of the same thing with hackers that make virus'...they have nothing better to do with their time other then try to make other people's lives miserable.
