For buyers wondering about body rust.
1997 LX 450 with 205,000 mi in the rust belt.
My rusted areas included:
Lower rear quarter panels, including body mount.
Inner and outer rocker panels (rear end).
Rear hatch window (under and around window gasket).
Engine bay wheel arch.
2nd row seat seatbelt attachment bolt in wheel well.
Roof rack bolt holes.
Mine didn't have one but I've seen rear deflector mount rust on others.
Front edge of hood.
Windshield (under and around gasket)
Lower door seams.
