I'm looking to buy a car, awsome shape but its got some rust that I really don't like. Under the doors on both doors, rear hatch and a little on the rear tire wells.
Its not even serious rust, its just turning a little brown in the seams under the door and hatch, and a few bubbles on the rear tire well.
Anybody know ballpark what it would entale to fix this?

200-300 seems pretty decent for me.

Ive been working on rust on the body of my other car. Some of it could just be surface rust from the guy driving it in the winter.
If it's serious rust you can tell easily by using a solvent rust cleaning chemical, if the rust is still there than it's really bad and you have to either work long and hard at it.. or have a professional do it.
My advice is tell the guy selling it to find out how bad the rust is by applying some chemical to where the doors are.
He can easily pick up some stuff at Canadian tire.

I actually passed on this car, the next one I found was only a 2 door but not a spot of rust.
