So i am going to travel 3 hours to buy a 2003 w/ 14k miles. I know no one has x-ray vision but does anyone see any red flags? It's a two owner car with carfax to prove. Some of the stuff to me looks oxidized--he states it has been in a heated garage and the body looks as if it has. Also, If you zoom, there is red on bolts that i am wondering if should not be. I am consulting you all to tell me if these are normal findings.

Seems oxidized to me



Is that red normal?

Being new to this, i guess other than the obvious, does anyone have photos of a car with heavy corrosion? any comment on those red bolts or screws?

Thanks

I mean the brake fuild looks like it may be getting close to a change but that is a pretty damn clean AP1 engine bay. Still not a bad idea to check the underside of the car for heavy rust (rear wheel wells are another good place to look as there should be little to no rust there). I would sort of expect the valve cover or other parts to show worse wear if there was signs of really bad corrosion on the car though. I am not sure about the red bolts. I think sometimes there is paint or making on them from the factory but can't speak to the ones pictured.
