Beware frame rust on used cars

Used cars can have hidden frame rust

[lightningsmokerXx]

The Take away lesson here is, steel rusts, especially when subjected to moisture, water, road soalt/brine.
Do not use - dealer type Undercoatings such as rubberized asphalt.
Have your vehicle Rustproofed with products like : Krown Rust Control's T40, Rustcheck, Fluid Film, Wool Wax, Corrosion Free Rust Cure Formula 3000.
and get something like a Husky liner OR a WeatherTech Mat in the car from the day it's new. You can keep the rust to a minimum after 15-20 years, but if the floor pan rots outside from salt and water from your shoes/boots , the car still bites the dust. Have the exterior and underbody washed in spring. Spray them them in early to late spring. Get a aerosol can and touch up your wheel arches and pinch welds and other areas of the car from time to time, spray the grounds, battery cables. A little effort goes a long way in keeping cars from rotting out.

I very nearly bought a Lexus IS200 that on the face of it looked like a new car. Low mileage and so on. I shoved my mobile phone underneath and took some pictures. There were actually holes in the chassis the rust was so bad. A good phone camera saved me a LOT of headaches. I walked away. The seller was not happy.

Sand and Salt is the killer for me as I live coastal, I found a guy selling a chassis rail cleaning unit, called chassis protech. Game changer for me it takes two minutes plugged into my garden hose when I get back from the beach, saves me getting under the car, laying in the water and getting soaked, more time for me!

Just found out my 2007 Nissan Murano had subframe rust in the back tire area and it had completely broke off and I was driving with tilted wheels for months without knowing it was the subframe.

If people actually pay them shops to undercoat and rustproof there cars they would all be rust free

People, take care of your cars, consumers are responsible too.

Well we got fooled in Georgia!!! and bought a car a week ago must have been from up north because the entire under body is rusted but they had painted over it a week later the car is in the shop because the entire wheel and frame separated from the car and fell off
