Yea, rust comes with the territory around here. Some pay inflated prices, we buy them cheap and spend the difference on rust repairs!

Yeah, my daughter is at Susquehanna U up there in Central PA. I sent her with a nice, rust-free Texas car to get her through college, and I am afraid it will be half the car it was after 4 years up there

So, I just saw this on the local CL, it is not an Ex, but if that is not a misprint on the price, someone would be a fool not to ****** it up! Makes me wish I had an extra 6K floating around.

Susquehanna is a nice school. Let me know if she needs anything in a pinch. My wife and I could be there in an hour.

Around here, rust isn't the big deal that it is made out to be in other areas. We just fix it and keep on driving.

I always laugh when watching the various car restoration shows on TV, mostly all from TX or CA. They get all freaked out when they see a couple of quarter sized rust spots and go on and on about how badly it's rusted out, all the while I'm thinking "Damn, that's pretty clean and rust free!" It all depends on your perspective I guess. For a 16 year old 4X4 that lives in Pittsburgh and actually gets driven year round (unlike mine

) that rust, bad as it is really is about normal and fully repairable. I'd be more concerned with how the backside of those rocker panels look, I'm sure they are pretty well gone. Even with all that considered, that 7.3 EX still has many years left in it for a driver. It will never be a show truck though.
