Rusting Arches/Doors/Sills JDM Imports

[Osakakev]

Hi,

 

I'm looking at getting a fresh Jap Import to try ensure it will be rust free. It's likely to be 2003 to 2005.

 

Are the rusting doors / arches / sills a common problem? 

 

Cheers

Bought my pearl white 296 bhp 2005 vert last November 44.000 miles at the time no rust its mint but i guess it's like any car it's the way it's looked after and what u pay for it.

My Zed has suffered a bit with rusty arches / sills. But then it was imported in 2003. It’s spent a lot of its time outside in fairness, so a bit of rust is not surprising.

 

Getting yourself a fresh import means you know where you’re starting from in terms of paint / bodywork condition. Then you can monitor it on an ongoing basis and catch any issues / problems early.

Jap import shouldn't be rusty,
