04 Accord rust
Hi there
I'm looking to buy a Accord as my next car and have been doing the rounds today at car auctions and dealerships looking for one
One unexpected thing was a 04 Accord that had done 76k miles and had some stone chips (no surprise there) but there was rust under those chips!
All the components under the bonnet looked rusty/corroded too
Didn't think this was possible with such a new car, aren't the new Accords supposed to have a galvanised body?
Done some searching on the web and couldn't find any info confirming or denying this
Anyone out there able to help?
Thanks for reading

RE: 04 Accord rust
it's just metal under the rust protectant and paint, so a deep enough chipwill eventually rust. it can rust fast depending on the climate it's in.
all metal on the engine and exhaust will start to rust after a few years. there's nothing you can really do about it.
