“If it was an 80s model or older, there would be no problem, but a 2012 model with this level of rust!”
“This is not a problem and it will never be a problem. People just want to look smart and point out things for no reason. There is no point in saying anything about "rust" on this vehicle.”

“Hello! Is this too much rust for the car that's 15yrs old? Look at the arms that are holding wheels and the rust that can be seen in the background of the pics. Also keep in mind that the car was a bit dusty and dirty beneath when the pics were taken. Sry if they r bad quality, but I just couldn't manage to make the camera focus properly. Also, what do you think should be done about this rust? I am not really familiar with the ways this can be taken care of. And does it look to you like”
