TRUE OR. false? Your car no
longer needs rust protection.

If you answered “‘true,”’ try
again.

With harsh winter weather just
around the corner and millions of
tons of salt dumped on North
American roads each year, your
car needs all the help it can get.

An analysis showed that car
manufacturers’ warranties com-
monly ignore 20 critical rust-prone
areas of cars, and additional areas
on trucks and vans.

Among them are hood and
trunk inner panels, fender supports
and reinforcements, door frames,
brake and fuct lines, vehicle floor
sheet metal, and structural and
suspension components.

These components are all situat-
ed in interior areas of automobiles.

And since most automotive rust
starts from the interior and works
its way through, the prospect for
corrosion remains high for new
vehicle owners.

“The repair or replacement costs
of non-warranty metal components
generally are much higher than the
expense of professional rustproof-
ing treatment,’’ notes an industry
expert.

Owners who plan to keep their
vehicles for any length of time, as
most cost-conscious buyers cur-
rently do, should examire trade-in
factors.

Research repeatedly indicates
that a used car in mint condition
(that is, with little or no evidence
of rust corrosion), usually com-
mands double the trade-in price of
a comparable model with rust
