Hey guys i am in my final stages of buying a zenki 240sx SE but then this kouki came up that looks REALLYNICE or say has all the plans of exterior what i was gonna do.......BUT if u look at the last pic on this thread, u can see rust building up on the engine bay...and the owner has told me he has brought it from New York(known for cold snowy weather which builds rust)
http://zilvia.net/f/cars-sale/240690-fs-so...ds-ksports.html

Owner has told me, The frame looks clean, where there is rust it is occurring at some fasteners and on some of the exhaust.
There is some rust, mostly bolts, and slight edges of metal where the powder coat rubbed off. I don't think it is too extensive. This car was originally in new york, but wasn't driven much during the winter months.

Is buying a car with rust worth it or do i need to avoid these cars?

I think you need to avoid cars.
