Thanks for that. I'm in Scotland too, so I guess its the weather and the salt, not great for the rust! I've never had that problem with any other cars before though. I did ask my mechanic about a rust treatment but he said best for only newer cars as you seal in the problem! I'd consider it for my next car though. I'll be checking the history for sure, thanks. I'll have to hope I'm as lucky with my next buy.
