Default How's the rust situation in Salt Lake City?
I'm looking at a b5 avant in SLC. Is this a bad idea given the salt use on the roads? This one has higher mileage and winter use. Will I find the undercarriage fasteners impossible to remove? TIA.

generally not an issue w/ Audis. If you want me to check out the car for you, drop me an e-mail.

Default That's why I'm asking.
I'd certainly be changing the suspension and exhaust. Will a 4 year old, 100K+ mile S4 in SLC have rust fasteners on all those parts?
