BUYERS BEWARE of cars coming from south Florida...

Very good point. Many years ago I bought a used Ford station wagon from a dealer on LI. A few weeks after, I happened to lift the mat in the rear section, and found rust and dampness. The car was only 2 years old. There had been big floods in Pennsylvania and the dealer lied to me. The salesman told me it was a trade in from one of their customers. When I went back about the rust problems, the manager told me the car was bought by him at auction in NJ. After some heated discussion, we came to an agreement and I got another car from him. Lucky me.
