Thread: Rust under brand new 90

As was said earlier, check your doors. The pathetic little bump in the skin with metal tab coming out to act as a drain will work for about minutes of its life before any dust inside the door mixed with water clogs. My door bottoms, at the corners are so rusted I can shove my fingers inside. Also the footwells are a great place, on the bulkhead where it angles up. Once again due to the leaky cab, over time, I now have extra foot vents...I do live on the Gold Coast and the vehicle has lived its whole life outside.....but Austrailia doesnt have a rust problem so I dont know how this could happen..

I told them car wasn't leaving and the owner(lease company) would deal with them and id recommend no further dealings with them from lease company and my own company. The only person at the dealership interested was the original saleman who to his credit "stole" the car every chance he got an filled the tank on the dealership card each service. One good guy will never make me forget the overall attitude though as it went as high as the mamager

That Suzuki scenario sounds so lame.

Fortunately the dealer I bought from is being very attentive to my concerns and requests. It has made the world of difference considering the precarious nature of this situation.
