Canadian car question

[KS Toronado]

Do vehicles in the Victoria, BC, Canada tend to rust out or stay rust free? Vancouver to be exact.
Looking at one from that area.

1. can't say about Vancouver, but my limited experience in the PNW says

that they don't use road salt much there. Vancouver probably doesn't get that much snow. It's a coastal kind of a place, like Seattle. Seattlites driving in the snow have their own YouTube videos.

2. Doesn't rain cause rust, as well? I'm asking as a desert dweller who knows nothing about this.

3. Well yes on unprotected/unpainted surfaces.

But road salt is like warp speed.

4. That I get -- we inherited an suv from in-laws in Ontario, Canada, and they must not have protected

their underside .

5. If you buy get a good inspection

Coastal cars can have rust problems. If it was garaged that helps. Coastal US cars can have rust issues also if near the ocean. The salt air is rough on surfaces.
