Osakakev Posted July 30, 2018 Share Posted July 30, 2018 Hi, I'm looking at getting a fresh Jap Import to try ensure it will be rust free. It's likely to be 2003 to 2005. Are the rusting doors / arches / sills a common problem? Cheers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Junkyardbear Posted August 8, 2018 Share Posted August 8, 2018 Bought my pearl white 296 bhp 2005 vert last November 44.000 miles at the time no rust its mint but i guess it's like any car it's the way it's looked after and what u pay for it.

Bockaaarck Posted August 27, 2018 Share Posted August 27, 2018 My Zed has suffered a bit with rusty arches / sills. But then it was imported in 2003. It’s spent a lot of its time outside in fairness, so a bit of rust is not surprising. Getting yourself a fresh import means you know where you’re starting from in terms of paint / bodywork condition. Then you can monitor it on an ongoing basis and catch any issues / problems early. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
