What constitutes a rust free Festiva?
I bought another Festiva today and I'm wanting to sell my old one.
I couldn't find really any rust on the car other than a very small amount of
surface rust dots on the rear bumper beam and a bit of surface rust in the
engine bay behind the fuse panel. Where do these generally rust out at?
The one I bought has a good amount of surface rust, but the one I'm selling
looks pretty freakin clear of it. Not front or rear fender rust, no roof rust, none
on the trunk or roof or anything. I haven't pulled the carpet, but I don't see
any on the bottom either. The headlight buckets have a small amount of rust
on the back part, but I didnt see any otherwise. No rust on the struts, knuckles,
brackets, radiator support, underbody...if I missed anything let me know.
I'm wondering how much a rust free (almost completely dent free) Festiva
with crappy paint and a not great interior would sell for without an engine
or transmission. Everything else would be going with the car. Freshly tinted
windows. The only dent I could find on the car was above the rear wheel.
There is a dent that I can upload a picture of, but I'm not sure if it'll pop
out or not. It's not very deep, hardly noticeable, but if you were to repaint
it, who knows?
The front seats are rough, but have seat covers. The rear seats look ok.
The carpet is kinda rough, but I can throw in a carpet I got from the junk
yard. The dash has small surface cracks in 4 places. The pillars look fine
and I plan to repaint the rear plastics before selling.

TL;DR version:
Question 1:
Wanting to know the price of a rust free (?) Festiva
with terrible paint and a rough interior and no engine
or trans.
Question 2:
Where do these most often rust and where should I look for?
