In Japan they don"t grit the roads at all.
Which is why buying a Japanese import is often a good idea, as the car will be in far better nick than one of the same age that has "grown up" in the UK.
This is irrelevant to the debate, but interesting nevertheless.

And consequently they are not undersealed/rustproofed to the same degree as cars made for the European market.
Also irrelevant, but worth knowing if you"re gonna buy one.

No, that"s a very valid point and it"s worth undersealing an imported car if you"re going to keep it for quite a few years. Of course, if you plan to get rid of it after a few it won"t be your problem ;)

And treating the back of the chrome bumpers... then you won"t get rusty holes in them like my Surf!! :"(

But other than a bit of cosmetic rust, they"re pretty indestructible I"d imagine?

Well I"ve had it nearly 6 years and I haven"t broke it yet!
It was a bit of a leap of faith... sending about £3k to a man in Japan, that I had only ever exchanged 4 emails with... for a car I had only seen a picture of... in the hope that he would put it on a boat for me, so that I could pick it up from Southampton docks 6 weeks later. :o

imported cars do have a tendancy to rust but a good underseal will slow the oxidation of the metal, i do own a japanese car that was built in sunderland(nissan primera) so you would think that it would be treated for rusting, nope, 6 hours with a mig welder and a dose of schutz and ive made a right mess of my car but at least it filled a hole.

More snow in the West Midlands - but I"m just North of Brum and the roads are all clear. I think the worst of the snow was further South.
