Why was the retreat ordered? One thing I've noticed since scanning the cheap beater car listings is the Mazdas (Protege's and 3's) seem to have horrendous rust problems, including structural (strut tower caps).

Even though I already got my winter beater for this year, threads like this one keep me browsing my local ads for kicks.
I subscribe to the "50 km radius beater rule", so there isn't an awful lot to choose from in my area (live in a small city - 21k pop.). But every other week or so, something interesting pops up. My search criteria: sub-$2k, manual transmission. On Friday it was a 9 year old bare bones Hyundai Accent from out west (meaning comparatively little rust) with low km for its age for $750 asking.
