I understand very little about vehicles or other things with a motor. I found a good pre-owned vehicle from 2013 for the right price and it checks every necessary box. However, an acquaintance of mine holds the opinion that I should pass on the vehicle because of some rust on the inside lower frame of the driver's door. It's unnoticeable from the outside. But the acquaintance says that in a year from now, the rust will spread and the vehicle will look like trash.
The rust is not a tiny spot on the frame, but rather kind of spread out on that door.
I don't care about the rust as it is, so if I can do some work to maintain it rather than fix it, I'm good with that.

Well, you did buy a Chevy, what did you expect?
Oh, you probably meant the used car market... [Reply]

HEY Calm your tits in the Chevy hate. They have some not bad vehicles on the roads. I’d put the reliability of the pickups I’ve owned against anything. Very few people abuse them to the degree I have.
In reality, Bugs bought the Trail. boxer after I sung their praises. I’m just hoping it holds together for him so he doesn’t murder my family. :-) [Reply]

I'm not one to have issues a time or two and apply it to all things that company makes ever.... but, my Monte Carlo needing a new transmission at 80k miles was pretty bad (and had another Chevy prior with issues, but it was older).
I haven't sworn them off, but they're in timeout. [Reply]

How old was it? They’re better. My work wagon has 100K drivetrain warranty. [Reply]
I have a 2017 Pacifica limited, its going into the shop for a galvanic corrosion problem (under warranty). Hood and sliding drivers door. Body guy said if they tried to fix the aluminum panels, they just have to fill the repair and it wouldn't last. Probably $5000 repair for Chrysler, said they have done a bunch of hoods [Reply]
