Looking at a GX--rust? (1 Viewer)

[taterhead47]

Really low mileage 2018 GX with certified Lexus warranty. I think I found why the price is decent. Can I get opinions on how bad this might be in 6-7 years with treatment? And how would you treat?

As a LC guy, this is a 3/10 on the rust scale, but this is a newish GX that my wife will drive... Thanks

I wouldn't, looks good to me
Maybe spray some fluid film or something

You'd buy it if it's priced right?

Thats not that bad, if the price is right, go for it! You can alwasys reverse that rust and paint and seal it if you really want to, really not that bad all things considered.

I'm down here in the south and paranoid. Thanks y'all.

Yearly Fluid Film/Woolwax treatments and it should be fine. But be sure to check inside the frame as well, particularly on the PS front, where the AC drip line douses the frame with water. They like to rust inside out there. If you do get it, please spend 30 min and relocate the drip line.

Looks fine, FluidFilm or similar will keep it in good shape for a long time.

Pb blast surface shield works awesome.

Ouch, pass.

Hit it with a hammer if it flakes too much pass but honestly from living in the northeast it looks fine.
