THINKING OF BUYING A 2007 JEEP G C FROM MINNESOTA IT WAS THERE FOR ALMOST 2 YRS AND IT HAS RUST ON THE MUFFLER AND ON SOME OF BOLTS ON THE SPRING AND SHOCKS AND NOTICED IT ON THE A FEW PULLEYS UNDER THE HOOD. IS THIS BAD? I'M FROM FLORIDA.

USUALLY ITS THE BODY, THAT GETS THE DAMAGE FROM BEING IN THE SNOW/SALT, LOOK IT OVER GOOD, ESPECIALLY TOWARDS THE BOTTOMS OF THE DOORS AND THAT HIGH UP, ALL THE WAY AROUND!

ITS NORMAL FOR A MUFFLER TO GET RUSTY THE HEAT SORTA ESCALATES THAT,
I WOULD NOT WORRY UNLESS YOU SEE METAL "REALLY FLAKING OFF" IN THE FORM OF RUST

I'M UP HERE IN S.C, THE BOTTOM OF MINE GET RUSTY FROM THIS CLIMATE--I'M SURE ITS THE SAME DOWN THERE!

WACHU THINK?

I'M HOPEFULLY BUYING IT TONIGHT SO I'LL CHECK IT OVER AGAIN. I DIDN'T SEE ANY BODY RUST THE WHEN I LOOKED IT OVER THE LAST TIME. BUT I WASN'T SURE WITH THE ENGINE PARTS AND THE SUSPENSION PARTS AND EVERYONE KEEPS TELLING ME NOT TO MESS WITH IT AND JUST LOOK ELSE WHERE BUT I'M PRETTY SET OF THIS ONE. THANKS FOR THE INFO I WILL CHECK AGAIN AND WILL REPLY! TY
