Your opinion on this frame please

Looking at this 2009. It's really clean price is good four-cylinder 5 speed with 58k. It is from Washington and there is some Rust, it looks relatively serviceable to me, wire wheel, scrape, convert, paint or something to that effect. I have went down your forums rabbit hole and there's always varying opinions this does look more minor compared to some of the rust I've seen.

Thank you I do appreciate your time.

 

looks damn good considering the year. However, hailing from MN, anything that doesn't resemble a shipwreck hull impresses me. I wouldn't hesitate to purchase assuming everything else checks out. Spend a little time prepping as you outlined and follow up with an annual coating of woolwax or fluid film.

 

That is a good looking frame my man!!!!
For the age looks pretty good
I also see a newer drive shaft? In 2nd pic

 

Thank you guys, just wanted a sanity check.

 

Considering the year and mileage, it's in far better shape than 99% of chassis here being that old. Many gen2's have already had frame replacements in my area.

 

Surface rust......clean it up and start your yearly treatment with fluid film, woolwax, protection first class, etc. That frame should be worry free. Make sure whoever does your frame really soaks down the inside of the boxed sections!

 

It still looks like a virgin to me!

 

Looks great !

 

Minimal rust - jump on it !!
