Calling all Southern Peoples...

[eeboater]

Being from WISCONSIN any vehicle I look at that is 15 years or old is a complete rustbucket. When I buy my next toy, I want to get it in a non-rustbelt area. Preferably south of the lattitude that runs through Kentucky. <br /><br />I am wondering what your local car ad magazine is and if they have a website? I know about the online car shopping places - but you're just not going to find a $500 Jeep in online ads.<br /><br />Thanks,<br />Sean

Sean,<br /><br />I run a Chevrolet dealers web site and internet sales department. My suggestions would be:<br /><br />Hit the autotrader web site and select a souther zip code.<br /><br />Read the classifieds from souther newspapers on-line.<br /><br />Some real diamonds in the rough can be found.<br /><br />Bob

Re: Calling all Southern Peoples...

Thanks Bob. That's what I've been doing for the past few months. I supposed I should find out the zip codes of some of the larger cities in the south.<br /><br />Sean

Re: Calling all Southern Peoples...

Sean, some of the local cities have a website you can visit and search for transportation. Select the city and then transportation and you will find ads for cars/trucks etc listed. There is no salt put on the roads down here so most vehicles are rust free. You can still find 50's model cars around, rare but still here. The site is www.sgaonline.com

How much you wanna spend? You arent going to find a $500 Jeep CJ anywhere. All of the hunters have bought them up and they will not part with em. I have been on this same mission for atleast four years now.

Wherever the lower average humidity areas of the country are is a good bet for non rotted out older vehicles.Corpus Christi and Houston Texas are not such locales.

Corpus and Houston cars rust because of the ocean, not the humidity. I am 200 miles inland with even more humidity than you, no rust buckets here.

Re: Calling all Southern Peoples...

stay away from my area. as kids we would hang out on the beach and watch the jeeps rust . my 87 chevy is probably 700 pounds lighter now than when manufactured. the only good thing is the floor allows the water to leak out faster than the roof and winshield area let it in .

With prevailing SE winds ,the Gulf of Mexico is the humidity source.Trust me, I've lived here for quite some time.Vehicles that set outside and get wet and dry for most of their life are more prone to corrosion.I'd also be very surprised if 200 miles inland experienced higher average daily humidity than here on the Gulf.
