you are examining a used car for rust, also keep
an eye out for salt corrosion. Salt can devastate a car by
dulling its point, pitting the chrome, and causing rusting
on the underside. Salt corrosion damage, as you might
expecl. is extremely common in cars driven during the
winter in places where chemicals are used to help melt
snow and ice. New or rthnished chrome parts, or a new
point job on a recent model should be clues to you that at
one poini or another salt and rust may have been a
problem.
