Hey all, I've been looking for a 9th Gen SI for a while now but can't seem to find one with no rust (Ontario winters, so much salt).
I happened to find a 2013 sedan with only 70,000 km on it because it's been sitting in a garage since December 2016. The guy wintered it in Alberta where they use sand instead of salt, so other than a few stone chips the body is in amazing shape. He never bothered registering it in Ontario because he has another vehicle. The chassis looks great as well.
He said he ran it every few months and kept the battery on trickle charge, and also replaced the battery not too long ago. He's going to put new brakes and rotors all around and also get an alignment and safety it.
Everything looks good but I'm a little worried about buying a car that sat for so long. The tires and everything look great and it runs good, clutch feels good and goes into all gears smoothly.
What do you guys think?
