Never handled rust before. Dont you have to sand it to bare metal, prime, and repaint it?

I repainted mine last year. Rust is the only thing I really bother to deal with on the body and undercarriage, otherwise it will eat up the car at some point. Fucking salt, man.

You could sand it, but since it's under the car and nobody is going to see it, it's not a big deal.

What I did is take a dishwashing brush from the dollar store and scrub the rusted areas to remove as much dirt and rust as possible.

Then I spray pic related over all the metal parts. It's a flat matte black, doesn't require a primer, and can be sprayed directly over rusted metal. I put on 2 or 3 coats, and it lasts a few years.

I live near the Great Lakes so I'm in the rust belt. Fuck salt indeed.

chevy quality with a luxury tax on everything

>>16166774
Modern (last 5-ish years or so) Cadillacs are actually very good, would definitely buy an ATS coupe down the line if BMW didn't offer the M240i.

>>16166774
Why don't people just get the Suburban instead of the Escalade. I never understood this.

why would a business owner want somebody who is going to buy anything hanging around their store?

>>16166643
Because car dealerships aren't Wal-Marts.

I seriously hope nobody just walks into a stealership and purchased their second most expensive asset without doing proper research and contemplation.

Is that a Supra in second place?

>>16165848

No.

Unless you're buying either an H6 or a turbo Subaru, you're wasting your money.

>>16166065
why do you say so? This wouldnt make a decent daily driver for the winter?

no, that thing haa probably been beat to hell

never buy a car with a new engine, if the owner neglected it to the point of needing an engine swap, I can't imagine how bad it is

twingo

Forgot to actually make a point, so what are your recommendations around here? I am pretty open to anything, from Miata to NSX to VW

A guy I know (total weirdo) changed his Focus for one like this. Stopped driving it when he ran out of money for fuel.

>pick two
>i have to get rid of ONE of my shitboxes

get rid of both the shitty landyacht and e36.

landyacht needs no explaining, shitty gen and e36's have no real redeeming features.

sell both and get a saab wagon or something.

>TWO-HUNDRED-NINETY-FIVE THOUSAND MILES
A car like that has had at least 900,000 rompings. You really wanna buy a car that's been beat on for 295k miles?

>>16165588

Aren't you concerned with appearance? Or are you one of those autists that doesn't realize image is the most important thing.

I don't know, they're the best vans.

Depends where you live and what you use it for. Id have one if most of my work wasnt downtown with underground parking lots. I had to buy a cheby sierra instead
