Get the vehicle oil undercoated and there would be no rust on the frame.

Here are two places :

Carrara's in Vermont:

and in Concord/Chichester

Yet there are still some that state that cars do not rust anymore.
Your post is proof positive that yes - cars do rust today.

Well, it was 15 years old, and traveled 238k miles, all in snowy/salty New England, so I think I got my money's worth without the treatment.

No one wanted my 99 F250 7.3 with a 6 speed when I bought it with 6K miles 2 years old in 2001. Now I get offers monthly!

I sold my Ram 1500 ecodiesel in SC last year when down there working. After looking at the prices and availability of new, I picked a 2011 E350 4Matic up from WeirsBeachBoater (Denis) last fall and will drive the wheels off it. Amazing in the snow, especially with 4 Blizzaks!

Thanks for the business, Happy to assist any forum members. Also I have decided to sell my own 11 E350 Sport if someone wants to be like VitaBene!

Must have been luck! My 2005 MB wagon at 165K has no rust! Mechanics are amazed!

The good news is that the car I bought used in 2019 is still worth exactly what I paid for it even with 20,000 more miles on it. The bad news is that the car I really want---a Kia Soul---has gone up proportionately in price and there are very few good ones for sale. Same as the real estate market.
