AS FAR AS RUST GOES...I HAVENT SEEN ANY RUST ON ANY OF THEM...AND I HAVE IMPORTED LIKE 7. HOWEVER, I DID BUY ONE ONCE, AND IT DID HAVE SOME SUSPENSION WORK TO BE TAKEN CARE OF. BY THE TIME I WAS DONE (4 SHOCKS, 2 REAR INNER/OUTTER TIE RODS, 4 WHEEL ALIGNMENT) I WAS IN THE WHOLE 1500 BUCKS. KINDA KILLED MY PROFIT FOR THE CAR. WATCH FOR THE NORMAL STUFF.

R32s rust atthe trunk where the taillight bulkhead meets the floorrain gutter tray under the wipersthe firewall horizontal seamat the base corners of the rear window(sunroof cars) at the rocker panel ahead of the rear tire(4 doors) front doors, under the side mirrors

It has rust guaranteed, it's just a question of how much.

Hey, I see a lot of japanese imports (I do OOC inspections). Some big things I've seen are poor quality modifications, beaten up interiors and other simple stuff like hidden damage (drifting accidents) Be careful to check for oil leaks too, they're an easy way to fail inspections, oil cooler lines and the like.
