Agreed.

Rust is definitely a big turn off for me. But I knew it was out there. That's why I only looked at southern trucks when I bought mine. My '94 has a little rust on the rear axle and leafs where some paint has flaked. The frame and driveshaft are also rusty, but they didn't come painted from the factory (at least not in '94). That's it for cancer. My truck is 12 years old, and looks better than most 5 year old trucks around here once you crawl underneath [8D]

Good luck selling it. I hope it hits your reserve. Have fun with the Subaru

my girlfriend has a 2.5 rs... I don't know what body style number it is though... it's the older version, with the skinnier headlights. She loves it, and I love to drive it. It's easy to mod and gets great mileage.

To be honest its better people dont hide anything even rust with paint.Thats a turn off for me.I like seeing what I might have to attend to later.

Nothing against your or your choices, but if it were me...I'd be looking for a different house [:'(]

One in a neighborhood where they don't try to tell me what I can and can't do on my own property. [&:] Then again, I have 6 vehicles...I'd never make it in a place like that. [8D]

Good luck with the re-list.

If it's body rust, I'd agree with you. But the rust he has is surface rust (axle, springs. etc). Cleaning it up with a wire brush and painting it would do some good, and wouldn't require the new owner to really do anything in the near future.
