Rust Concerns?
Hi, New to the Forum, but a long time Toyota owner. I am looking to buy my first Lexus, a GX470, that was originally from Chicagoland. Having spent the first 40 years of my life in the rust belt, I am curious what I might need to be looking for in a GX from that area with regards to corrosion. Anything been an issue? I once had a Honda Accord that nearly lost the gas filler pipe the body was so rusted. Thanks for all the great posts on this site!

It's from the land of snow & salt, so there will be rust. You'll need to inspect it to see if it's an acceptable amount.
If you want rust-free, look for vehicles from the southwest and California.
