When is rust acceptable? Mk2.5
Discussion
I understand that rust on the sills, back arches, chassis rail, are big NO’s.
These areas are well-documented enough that everyone should know what to look out for now.
My question is about the other parts.
For example, along the bottom of the doors, in the boot, under the bonnet, etc.
Getting my first mx5 soon. I’m looking at a 2004 1.6 at a modest price. The rust that the seller felt noticeable enough to tell me about was under the bonnet.
I’m thinking it’s not a deal breaker, but I thought I’d ask you guys.
Also, how about the boot? And I understand if it’s damp inside the boot or in front of the seats there’s a good chance it’s rotting the panels underneath. Is that a good enough reason to run away?
Thanks for the help
