I was just wondering where the 240 is prone to rust. I keep finding little spots here and there ( below doors, front of rear wheel well) on mine. I figured I'd poll everyone so we can look at some common places. I dont wanna get my rust fixed just to find some more. Thanks in advance!

inside the trunk - where the spare tire rests, and both sides (driver&passenger) underneath the carpet where your feet usually drips water

ahem. being that my car was more than likely in some minor accident. the entire passenger side looks like a crappy maaco job. i have surface rust (bubbling underneath the paint) underneath the passenger door, all along the edge of the rear fender well, undeath the gas door, a little on the roof, and some small spots here and there on the rear quarter panel. it's great. i love it.

i'm in the process of cleaning out my garage so my car can fit in there and i can once again, sand/primer/paint these prob areas.

:(
