Rust show stopper? - General Discussion - Car Talk Community
2010年7月31日 · I have to agree that rust is the big factor and mechanics are secondary. Rust can be unseen until something falls apart at 70mph or someone gets a little dizzy from the fumes. The only rusted vehicle I would consider is a PU truck with bed only rust in something I could swap out. I’d rather have a perfect body and mech. problems any day.
How to prevent further rust under a 22 year old Truck
2012年4月27日 · I am about to purchase a 22 year old (1990) Chevy C/K 2500 from a friend who is moving out of the country. I’m only going to pay $800 for the truck. I believe he has taken good care of the vehicle and it’s mechanically sound but rust prevention was never a priority. The fenders and tailgate are rusted through and some minor surface rust is present. I may or may …
Best auto for a rural postal carrier - Car Talk Community
2015年11月13日 · My wife is about to get offered a job at the USPS as a rural route carrier in Wisconsin. She would be required to use her own car. This is a part-time job for now, with a chance for full time down the road. She will have to sit on the passenger side and run the controls that are on the driver’s side. Her current car just wouldn’t work. My question is this, what would …

Krown Rust Control - Maintenance/Repairs - Car Talk Community
2021年7月7日 · Hi, First time using this forum, but I had a question about Krown Rust Control. Where I live there is Krown Rust Control center and I went in and talked to the guy about what Krown was. I got a lot of information but I could really tell the guy was trying to sell me and persuade me to get my 2008 sierra lined with Krown. I just recently got all the rust repaired …
What conditions are worst for rust? - Car Talk Community
2007年10月30日 · The road salt is the villain. Road & Track Magazine a number of years back did a rust survey, and the North East and the area around the great Lakes was 26 times as rust prone as the South West. Cars in Hawaii do not rust as quickly as those in Detroit. Basic chemistry tells us that, all thing equal, rusting increases with temperature.
Best color car paint that last the longest
2011年5月6日 · Agree with Caddyman. White, even if they use clearcoat (e.g., Mercedes, BMW) lasts the longest. I live in Sacramento where the 110F summer days and blazing sunshine are rough on paint.
Car for Vermont - Driving/Drivers - Car Talk Community
2013年7月29日 · My sister and family live in Burlington. The biggest used car challenge in VT is finding a rust free car. VT uses lots of salt on the roads and cars rust out much faster. If you are moving from a more southern state, you may be better off finding a good used car there. Remember – winter tires are 90% of winter driving (common sense is the ...
Rusty - Is the underside of every east coast car just as rusty as mine?
2008年4月1日 · All exposed metal should be protected…Rust proofed or Zinc-Oxide coating.. No area’s that can pool water. Any water that can get under the car should have a place to drain away. Cars today still rust in that area…but no where near the rate they use to. It was very common to see 2yo cars like the Dodge Scamp/Duster series with rotted out ...

2007年7月27日 · Yes, salt is rampant all over that area. SOME PA vehicles are quite rusty. Perhaps the one you are looking at was Ziebarted when it was new, and will never rust. Get it checked out by a pro, for both rust and mechanical issues. There are SEVERAL big dealer only car auctions in PA. That’s where Manheim’s headquarters are.
