Cars with Rust Options

[mrgrape]

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)

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?

well...for a pretty reasonable answer...If i were you, i wouldnt be so concered about "rust in the engine bay". The S platform from nissan is prone to rusting out in the frame rails, and on S14s in perticular, the rocker sills. From my experience with S14s, I wouldnt worry about a bit of surface rust on under carraige bolt heads, but if you see a spec of rust on the frame rails or rocker sills, walk away. If the owner refuses to send you pics of the underside, dont even bother. As long as its just surface rust, you have nothing to worry about. If its gonna be anything bubbeling, then forget it.
