This is my first car, its an 1988 LX, i bought it off an older lady who owned it since new. it has 72, 000 kms and the interior looks perfect. there is only one thing wrong, the previous owner had rear ended her husbands truck in the driveway. that car had been oiled yearly and has next to no rust on the underside here's some pic's tell me what ya think?

Thanks for looking

Was she driving it with 15s and 14s? alot of body rust low miles but you are in Canada so I guess it isnt too bad. Looks like it has a future

The build up is oil guard and if you dont do that up here they rot away. Should make you an awesome first car...
