My buddy is going through the pre-purchase process for an LX in Dallas at a dealership. They sent these few pictures to him and I am posting them here to get the forum's thoughts on the rust/underside. It is a former Illinois truck and now in Texas. Has 90K on it.
Here is what I thought and mentioned to him:
Id ask for more pictures and ones with the skid plates removed.
Pictures look like the underside has been painted.
In picture 2 the radiator looks like it should be replaced (IMO) and there is something dripping on the LCA. Also, there is rust at the top of the photo but I can't tell what that is.
So, what are the forum thoughts on this? Anything that would make you back away or need to be addressed at purchase?
