A small older car generally sells well without going to an auction. So, ....... does it have a rust problem, ie subframe, or is it welded in poignant places - the mileage and history seem too good to be true Or am I being too cynical?

Good luck.

It is something that has also gone through my mind as an earner. I last purchased from an auction (twice) 35/40 years ago for personal use - and did not do badly.
