lol virginia dosent have rust!
most of us (not everyone) dont drive our cars in the winter in NY
run a carfax and check the dates on the records, if you see a record in the winter months you'll know it was driven
upstate NY and NYC dosent use alot of salt but here in Buffalo/Rochester/Syracuse ect it WILL have rust if driven in the snow

If your really considering buying it then flying out to look it over may be well worth it. Ive done it in the past and was well worth the few hundred dollars. my buddy drove out to illinois to buy a "mint" cobra R and it was everything but mint, the last thing you want is some ratty ws6 showing up

NYC and the surroundings uses a TON of salt. IMO more than upstate when I lived up there (plus in the Adirondaks and further north, it was too cold for salt to work, so they just sanded). People north of Albany can be trusted to drive in snow, people in the Metro area, not so much.
well trust me when a NYC/LI car shows up here in Buffalo it is much nicer than a car native to western NY!

I'm in Binghamton and they use a **** ton of salt up here. How many 03 GMC bumpers have you seen rust right through? And the truck has less than 50,000 miles. If it wasn't driven between october and may then your ok. Other wise no matter what you do your going to be on a salty road at some point.
