So I know that S197 Mustang seat rails have a tendency to rust because they don't have a protective coating but does this look rusted through or more like surface rust? Don't want the seat detaching if I crash yknow?

Jab it with a screwdriver dude wtf
Can't, it's not my car yet
If you're going to buy it, make the guy let you check or walk
I'll try to do that but I'm also getting the car checked by a mechanic before I settle on it so I'm gonna ask him about the (absolute) state of these rails
I'd run away, dude. The way those are rusted makes it seem like it was in a flood.
This, also it looks like the interior is a mess so the guy obviously didn't really care for the car.
Never buy a car with a messy interior, if they can't keep the place they sit in clean and well maintained, what makes you think they kept the rest of the car well maintained?
CHECKED. i'd want to at least pull the carpets below the seat and check pan condition. I'd bet it's 1/4 to the way the seat rails are at.
The former is feminine make-work with no tangible benefit, and the latter is actual maintenance? How do you figure they have anything in common?
>make-work with no tangible benefit
>rust so bad that it could possibly spread to the frame
Everyone I've met with a dirty interior were also 5k miles overdue for an oil change. A dirty interior usually indicates the person doesn't care about the car and literally only use it to get from point a to b, and only performs maintenance when something breaks.
There are exceptions of course, but its usually the easiest way to tell a car was not cared for.
beauty is sometimes skin deep, but filth is usually deeper than it looks
Structural rust is not an element of a "messy interior."
>getting a sub-$10k shitbox checked by a mechanic
>sub-$10k
frick I'd love it if the car market was this unfricked here
Where do you live you can't get a pre-facelift S197 for under 10k?
Canada
Are you accounting for the difference between a Canadian and American dollar? You can get a V8 S197 for under 13k maple crusted beaver pelts.
>going to have a mechanic check the state of the car
>asks DA to diagnose the state of the car by a picture
Are you moronic by chance? Or just desperate for (you)'s?
Do it covertly when you look in person lol
Just take your keys and give it a good scrape
Looks fine but try and clean it up and hit it with some bedliner before it gets worse
DISGUSTING
That's shit from a butt, must've recently gone into a crowd
That's a flood car.
Seat will not hold you in place anyway, that would be the seat belt.
Also, if you crash wth this you are dead anyway
the seat will fly forward at 50 mph and crush him
That's not rust
It's food crumbs
Black person has been eating fried chicken in there for 20 years
In case you people dont understand those tracks just rusted up like that without ever being in a flood.
Thats why they have those covers on them usually.
Ford… Normalising rust since 1906
Bruz that shit flood damaged
DISGUSTING
RUSTANG strikes again.
walk away anon, just walk away.
