[QUOTE="Badgertits, post: 1731237, member: 31322"] If you’re just gonna use em & swap em out every few years, yeah nothing to worry bout. But….the amount of corrosion that can occur from only a couple of winters w/ rock salt/brine embedded everywhere in every nook & cranny of your vehicle is pretty significant, let alone leaving it sitting next to the ocean salt air blasting it day in day out & THEN actually driving in/around sea water? It’ll chew up your bushings, ball joints, any exposed steel nut/bolt/line the welds on the frame will start rusting quickly & all in all starts looking like hell, wearing quicker, & being more difficult to work on as a result of stuff being seized up. I can tell ya when buying a toy/hobby car in particular like that Porsche you have….I for one would absolutely get on the ground get a good look underneath @ the diff(s) exhaust hangers suspension bits brakes spindles etc see how everything looks, and I’d immediately be able to tell you DD that Porsche in that kinda weather. All else being equal against same P car that’s been only warm weather driven/garaged, I wouldn’t even bother giving a low ball offer & would gladly pay 10-20% higher for the cleaner example. That’s just a fact- not a knock on you or your vehicles, that being said- a) vehicles are meant to be driven, especially awesome ones like Porsche 911 & Raptor, & b) you can take preventive measures ahead of time to ward off a lot of the damage winter weather/salt air/water can do to a vehicle.
