    Bad news on the MGM...

    I was looking at the MGM and found that the hood latch was grinded off, the hood doesn't close properly, a center cap is missing and the suspention is shut. The question is to keep it? It is very low mileage (64k Kilometers) and I know the history since I bought the MGM new.

    What are your thoughts?

      The supention is fully rusted out, and the tries are done the car DID sit for 5 years. Oh and the electronic odemeter doesn't work that well.

            Yeah, was it sitting in the ocean or something? 5 years shouldn't kill a car that much.

            I guess I could see the airbags if so equipped going bad, and the shocks rusting/leaking. But none of that is terminal.

              Did the salty roads destroy the suspension that bad? My dad's minivan which has been run nearly every day since 93 doesn't have rust issues like that and we get snowy winters fairly regularly.
