Consumer Description

LOWER BODY HAS SEVER RUST. ROCKER PANELS ARE COMPLETELY ROTTED OFF DESPITE TAKING CARE TO WASH THE CARS UNDER BODY IN THE WINTER. FLOORS ARE SOFT. UPPER BODY HAS NO RUST ISSUES. LOWER BODY I HAVE HAD TO TREAT WITH RUST PREVENTATIVE EVERY YEAR FOR THE PAST 8 YEARS. I BELIEVE THE CAR WILL BE TOO RUSTED TO DRIVE IN THE NEXT 6 TO 8 MONTHS.
