Just look for the rust--if it is there you can easily see it. Don't let the fear of what I have said keep you away from one for the right price.

Thanks for the advice once again! I guess the key phrase there is "one for the right price"...

If I can get one in decent shape for $1000 or less, is that worth it? My drive to work is all freeway and I'm graveyard so it's in the evenings, and in the mornings, going in the opposite direction as traffic (so I cruise 65 ~ 70 most of the way). Do you think a decent XT Turbo 4WD can handle such easy drive?
