Had my old car get patched for rusted out parts of the frame once, second time a few years later it was so bad they couldn't patch and I got a new car. Just the way it goes with all the salt on the roads in winter and time being what it is.

Ya, the fix only works for so long. There really should be more vehicles sold with frames made of stainless steel or something more resistant to rust.

Fyi, if you take care of your vehicle it won't rust to pieces.

It's this, people are insanely lazy about taking care of their things. Cars are expensive, take care of them.

My truck is an 06 with 240k miles and you wouldn't be able to tell. I spend a day each month cleaning it and doing any needed maintenance. Plus I take it to the wash once a week. Still way cheaper than a car payment or serious repairs.

I once saw someone clean snow off their car with a metal snow shovel, put a giant scratch into the fender, and just leave it that way until it rotted. Car wasn't even a year old.
