Alrighty Mustachians, I've got a question about a car.
I have a car which has some rust spots. Nothing super serious now but definitely in the category of "will cause problems eventually" category. My dilemma is the car is a 2005 Focus with nearly 100k miles at this point. It'd cost a TON to get it fixed well but the stupid thing is only worth maybe $4k and already about 10 years old.
The rust is along the wheel well area and so is more or less in typical spots (some along the panel under the door, too).
I'm planning on keeping this car for quite some time - basically until it stops running. Ideally 5-10 more years. So cosmetic problems, while unsightly, aren't really that big of a deal for me. At the same time, rust is a cosmetic thing which can definitely turn fatal for the car.
What have you all done in this situation?
