Are you down south? Rust free and stock in Ohio is a rare find. Maybe too much salt on the roads, maybe too many fast and furious ricers. Either way, even the sedans in good shape are extremely hard to find here.
Nice deal on your $600 find. My CX is a similar story. Bought from the original owner, garaged its whole life and maintained really well. The trans input shaft bearing was whining really loud and the previous owner felt the cost of a tranny and clutch was too much to sink into the car. I drove it home, picked up a used VX trans for $150 and a new clutch kit for $90 and was back on the road getting 45+ mpg. Before this deal came up I was really looking for a sedan LX.
