Canadians have different names for rust. It may be completely brown surfaced, and eaten in a bit too, but if that's called "green cheese" then there may be lots of green cheese but there won't be rust.
If there are places where the rust has eaten completely through to the point that no metal is left then they may acknowledge some rust, but of course it will be only in the "usual places".
But they may have different 'usual places' too. In Canada a usual place is the entire frame and it's not hard to find vehicles with whole sections of frame gone from rust. Until the vehicle collapses in half with the nose and tail ends pointed upward through and through rusting is termed "mild" or "slight".
Despite the fact that we can usually understand them when they speak Canadians use a very different language from ours, and you should be careful about that.

and SO damn true, took a few trips to BC to look at "rust free" Cruisers..........and yes the Canadian version of rust free was not quite the same as mine.

Some of us Canadians know more about rust than some Americans so we know how to better fight it than some of you folks who live south of the border and do not have to deal with it or even know how to deal with it .
The e-bay rig is definitly rusted...a bs'er buy all means....run away . I was looking at an e-bay item just last night somewhere in Iowa....advertised as excellant shape and priced quite high...looked at the pic and it is rusted all to s*** !
