I was happy to find when buying it that the previous owner had undercoated the vehicle. And he sprayed motor oil under the body of the car before winter, I guess it was an old practice that was used to prevent rust. Accept for two small spots on the rear quarter panels above the wheels theres no rust on it, which is astounding for a 98 that wintered in upstate ny. The previous owner also replaced virtually all of the hardware in the engine bay with stainless steel nuts and bolts. He put a new suspension in it about 3 years ago, you can still see some of the barcodes on the lower control arms.
