IF a cruiser hits ocean water on either coast the rust will come.
the we(s)t coast doesn't see the snow and "salt" that the east coast does.
interior BC is brutal for "salt" but BC boys seem to take better care of the bodies so frames, hidden seams, rockers are what to watch for.
Alberta, Saskatewan, Manitoba USED to be the choice locations
for buying clean cruisers but even those provinces is using "salt" and although still be best provinces to purchase from you have to take a close look for evidence of 'body work' and check the frames.
Ontario, Quebec are bad, very bad for rust. frames, bodies, roof line are usually the places to check.
the eastern provinces are hell for bodies, i will not even shop those provinces due to the rust. 2 years on the east coast and cars are already falling apart. bondo is bought by the gallon.
basicly from Kenora east is hell for vehicles. Banff to Kenora is shop carefully. B/C is take your chances.
there are exceptions, extremely rare, of vehicles showing up that are surprisingly clean. ones that have NEVER seen winter roads, ones that come off the road the middle of Oct and go back on in May but the price will show in the ad.
NEVER buy a vehicle from Canada that you can not get inspected by someone you trust.
JDM, IF parked in the winter months, IF it wasn't already rusting when it came in, IF it isn't a roll back, that is located in Canada will be in better condition than the Canadian ones ... BUT NOT ALWAYS.
so, class, that is your lesson for today. study well tonight and maybe you will informed and careful shoppers in the future.
