Before you buy that Marketplace find, let us put it on the hoist. We check the frame and underbody for rust and previous repairs, brakes, suspension, tires, fluids, lights, and scan for stored trouble codes the seller may have cleared. You get a straight verbal walkthrough of what's solid, what needs money soon, and what should change the price — or end the conversation.
Underbody rust is the deal-breaker this region specializes in. Rocker panels, brake lines, subframes, and strut towers are where Newfoundland salt does its quiet work, and none of it shows in the seller's photos.
No vague "she's in good shape." You get the specific findings — measurements, photos of anything ugly, and an honest ranking of urgent versus upcoming versus cosmetic — so you can negotiate or budget with real information.
