I would be forced to agree here.

Mine is sweet as a nut... apart from wheel bearings, wishbones.. (Still not done, as I'm a wimp) and drop links.

Other than that she is fast, quiet, very compfy (especially the back seats), and I get 36MPG from her... I could not ask for any more.:D

I hear your point on the rust though.
But pop down to halfords, and buy a shed load of Waxoyl (sp?), 4 spray cans did me fine, and I had some left over.
I spent the first weekend I had her, just going over all the bits that had Surface rust, inside of wheel arches, sills etc.
If the rust is that bad, Waxoyl, may be to little to late though

Don't know how much you spent but my 98' Ex-police MV6, cost £900 with 150k on the clock, as is in VERY good order for that price.

IMHHO, 'megas are a very good car, you just gotta look after them a little.:D

Cheers.

Matt
