What could possibly go wrong?

Oh yeah. Wisconsin RUST. Yes, Virginia, those are HOLES in the subframe.

Still keeping my Camry.

Are we talking about the big rusty bar in the middle?

Perfect example of why inspections are important.

And.... we're gonna fix it! YAY! Only needs that, a CV boot, and an axle seal. Otherwise good to go for our used lot.

Yeah the rear quarters are just starting to bubble, and.... well the rest of the underside isn't so bad, actually.

Yeah, that's why I won't buy cars from where they salt roads. We have bad enough rust as it is around here.

That must have been their solution to the 'too durable' problem of early models..

Can't I go into the dealer and order 'super duty rustproofing' for about $2k more, both coatings and alternative composite and treated materials all throughout the undercarriage, not that spray-proofing stuff they use for upselling.
