Dang!! Looks like if you tried to get it off the sway bar, there wouldn't be anything left. I'd steer clear of that one

Pulled a car into the shop the other day and while I was pulling up to the rack the brake pedal went to the floor, got out and there was brake fluid all over the ground, looked under the car and it looked like that car. Had another car in recently that looked like that and it busted two brake lines. It's not if they will go bad but when when it's that rusted, and that's just the brake line part. Try to take any of the suspension parts of with that much rust...

That guy is clearly lying about it never being in rain or snow. How can he be that stupid to think that someone believe that after seeing that rust.

Sure, might not have been driven in snow, but definitely every time there was salt spread on the roads.

Snow as such is not going to do that. It's the salt they spread on the road that does it.
