New members should also check under the floor mats to make sure there isn't any hidden rust there if they're buying a car that has seen snow.

The water from my winter boots soaked through the sound insulation and pooled underneath in these ribs. Most of the time it can go un noticed if the insulation hasn't cracked yet. I discovered mine very early and was able to dry this puddle of pink water that had formed. There is a little bit of rust, but enough that 30 minutes of work and POR 15 will fix right up.

Push on the paneling and if water oozes out like a sponge run away from the car or better yet knock of $500-1000 of the asking price and say there is water hiding under the paneling.

Everyone should consider ripping up that sound insulation and putting some sort of newer material underneath. I was devastated when I started pulling that crap away.
