@Sonko, and they therefore do not qualify to be called second hand as there is a third hand you correctly identify as salt. salt hand?

I think it is a case by case issue though I agree with you salt causes rust. Same reason then you should not buy cars from UK because of the salt used to melt snow during winter. anyways, I once owned a Nissan B14 bought from Mombasa and it was sparkling and had no rust issues whatsoever. The previous owner had maintained the paintwork and I guess that's what guys in Mombasa need to do; never allow the paint to chip without respraying immediately and occasional refresh the paintwork. That means as you correctly state in the title of the thread BEWARE

Most cars are imported from Japan and all pass through MSA.
