Default how much rust is there in cali?

I am thinking of buying a 92-95 eg si hatch from say cali so I can get a 1000% rust free car, Is this realistic or do cars rust down there to? Might be a stupid question but you always here of rust free ---- there is it really that true or do they eventually go out to?

when i bought my corolla it came from rancho cucamonga. it's the valley in the boonies. the only rust i got was a ring around the sunroof. but i here that's common for old sunroofs. anyways, the only cali cars taht are potentials for rust come from the bay area, frisco, oakland sacramento etc.

get HYPHY rusted

I live on the top of washington(bc boarder) we get snow here :P. How much would a untouched(not modded) rust free black hatch si 92-95 go for down there? Is there such thing as super low milage ones? There around 5-6000 up here.

Tough to choose a good way.

Cali cars have all the rubber on them dried to hell and rust is still a possibility.

Your best bet is to find someone that parked indoors durring the day.

almost all the 90 ish vehical are rust free (or 1-2 % rusted) but nothing major...gotta watch out for cars that has been parked near by the beach/ocean, seen a few that looks fine but all the bolts and little parts are rusted to hell.
