Richard1296 Posted September 21, 2006 Share Posted September 21, 2006 JF1GG68656H814098 I'm looking at this 2006 Subaru ...don't ned to know anything except is it OK ? It has 29 miles on it and is being sold at a Subaru dealer as used due to exposure to salt water in "shipping" . I don't suppose it was shipped to New Orleans first ???? Great Price...I'm cautious (suspicious).. Thanks Richard Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Richard1296 Posted September 22, 2006 Author Share Posted September 22, 2006 Thank You both The car is at a local Subaru dealer. It is said to have been exposed to salt water during shipping and because of that carries no body rust through warranty. It includes all the other factory warranty's. It has 27 miles on it and looks perfect. It has a big discount on it...big. I just wanted to make sure the salt water didn't get on it in New Orleans or Florida from flooding. Shipping salt exposure shouldn't be any more severe that a winter driving on salted roads. Now to negotiate the trade in . Again Thanks a Lot Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest D1Driver Posted September 22, 2006 Share Posted September 22, 2006 I have heard of this when the cargo ship actually goes through really rough water and salt water splashes up on anything on the deck. That wouldn't worry me. Think of all the cars on the east coast near the ocean. The paint wears off due to sun before they rust, and they are in salt air all the time.

johnceggleston Posted September 23, 2006 Share Posted September 23, 2006 check the manufacture date on the bottom of the driver door (thats where it is on a 98) if it's been sitting around for a long time you might rethink. but with the warranty in place except rusting, how bad could it be??

Guest D1Driver Posted September 23, 2006 Share Posted September 23, 2006 If it still looks and smells new, underside and inside, then I would not worry about it. I would buy that way before I would buy one from northeast Ohio that has been through a winter with road salt. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
