    It works in politics; why not selling cars?

    Use talking points often enough and the mindless masses start believing it's true.

    I think they're talking as a percentage of the whole car, in terms of weight. Remember, if there's a hole, technically that's not rust any more.

    Very little rust--that I can see. Those paint bubbles? They may be rust, or just a bad paint job. Can't really tell.

    Those glass seals always leak and this is the outcome when ignored. The channel become pitted then eventually allows water down in and it has no where to go.
    Rust is like an iceberg, highly likely much worse than it looks once you get into it.

    At least it's an opportunity to buy a 911 at a decent price..

    What am I missing? "911 at a decent price?" It's a 2.7 car that has gobs of rust for $16k!



    If that's a good deal than this is a steal:

    213k mile '86 for $23k.

    Is that a original paint car? Continental Orange, or any orange is color to sample! Looks super nice!

    Me.

    Match.com internet glamour shot though. Guards Red. Bad paint on hood. But it does have a new clutch.

    Not a car for this crowd; you guys are way too picky. If someone PM's me I will limit your number of questions to 5.
