Frame Rust Opinion (1 Viewer)

[KB10]

Found a fair priced 2014 LC in my area and am wondering if I can get a second opinion on the rust on the frame. Body is in cherry condition and it’s been garage kept, but spent the first 6 years of its life in the northeast (New Hampshire and Massachusetts) Below are the photos of the frame, wondering what more experienced folks think about the condition of this rust… Thanks in advance!

Borderline. Expect seized LCA eccentrics and perhaps totally seized KDSS adjustment valves.

If you are just going to drive it, I wouldn't worry about it.

If you are planning to upgrade or do work on it? If so, I'd pass. I live in VT, so I am accustomed to rusty vehicles. That would be too much for me. Every time you or anyone else works on it, fasteners will snap, you'll constantly be drilling and tapping, and chasing rusted parts.

Ah, good old Rustachussetts...

As charlie said, if you plan on even undoing a single bolt other than lugs, youll be wishing you hadnt.

Thanks for the quick replies! Appreciate the insight. The hunt continues…

Problem is you are in DC so even if now the rust could be manageable, it will soon get worse.
