<x-charset iso-8859-1>What drains are you talking about? Probably I should know this but having a late model it will be nice to make sure they are cleaned. Also, it rained in St. Louis all week basicly and I've got water leaking down and onto the fuse panel. Where would that be coming from? Thanks.

The interior was flawless and the pans, channels, and rockers were in great shape. However, this car had some major rust-through into the front compartment, along the sides. I've since learned that later models are especially prone to rusting here when those drains get clogged. The guy wanted a very fair price for the car, and I could probably talk him down more, but I don't know how bad of a problem this rust actually is. Is it something that could be repaired with bondo (sorry) as a "stop-gap measure" just to make the car a bit more presentable?
