Hi guys
Not far from where I live a Toyota Amazon was advertised for sale. It looked good on the pictures so went to see it.

What put me off was the fresh coat of black *beep* all over the underside of the vehicle.  The LC had done about 200k miles and looked in good condition, but what was under the black *beep*??

What do you think?

Regards

Paul

I think we all know the answer…
At very best it looked untidy with some surface rust and they thought the fresh cost of under seal would be added value… more likely answer is that it was a totally corroded rust bucket that would not pass mot for corrosion but if you mask the corrosion…you pass the MOT… and maybe someone would buy it too..

I’d rather see the rust at least I know what I’m dealing with…
Fresh under seal is a huge red flag..
