Pardon my barging in, but are you crazy?
If I moved south, I'd NEVER buy a used ride from a salt state. My '98
Dakota has spent its winters in MN and NY (which is the worst possible as
far as salt, using a LOT of STRAIGHT salt) and I've got through-rust on my
driver's club cab rocker panel, nearly through on the bottom of the cab at
the back below the back wall under the floor boards, and behind both
headlights (nearly through on the left, badly through on the right due to
poor paint repair after a pre-me front crash). I wash it monthly at very
least during salt months.
Good luck...
