Default NY Lexus Question

Hi guys I have found some Lexus GS's in New York, and the prices are unbelievable. My question is, do I need to worry about rust underneath the car as salt is put on the pavement there, and any other concerns should I have?
thanks.

I was worried about the rust too, so I just bought one in FL. Some cars get sprayed to protect under the car to protect against rust.

For a second i thought this was a question directed towards me..

Living in NY for 10yrs and through the snowstorms and salt filled hwy's and streets i would definately have somewhat of a concern of rusting underneathe the car. As long as the car has not mostly been drivin in snow or right after the snow has been plowed, you should be ok. Just my opinion.

When you say unbelievable, are you talking in terms of good or bad? I'm assuming you mean good if you're asking about salt damage. That's pretty surprising that you're finding good prices here, I would never think that. Most NYer's looking for bargains, leave the city.
