Wait, "too much rust" on ANY vehicle in Southern California? Why? I brought my 2005 Astro from Phoenix to Milwaukee in 2011- it only has a couple of tiny rust spots and two blisters that haven't lost any paint. MKE County uses about 70K tons of salt every year for preventing road icing.
Anybody who lives or regularly works in the salt mist part of the coast (say about 1/2 mile) can experience rust.
Ours typically rust from the top down as opposed to the bottom up like they do in areas where road salt is used.
I lived near the beach for a few years and two of my classics wound up with rust.
