Re:
Hi Andrew,
I reckon that car is too risky to consider, especially without a service history and log books which could suggest that current owner got it from the auction and it could an ex-rental car, which in turn means it may have been abused. How many kms are on the clock?
In terms of rust, there should be NONE whatsoever, as I haven't come across any T30 model (even a 2001 one) that has surface rust in Australia. Overseas with snow condition, it's a different matter.

Re:
Yes Andrew, it would and it would be the best $18 bucks you have ever spent. You can then call Nissan Australia and check the all recalls have been done of this car, if he hasn't done the recalls either, look for another exy 
Oh, the corolla we previously had and which I bought 2nd hand had 19.000kms on the clock and it was ex-rental.

Re:
I wouldn't worry about rust on the exhaust as mild steel doesn't take long to turn rusty brown.
If you could ask where the previous owner got it derviced then you can give that centre a call about any service information.

Re:
Tony,
I think Andrew was talking about surface rust on the car itself, not the exhaust. That's how I read his post anyway. If that is the case, it's not normal at all.

Re:
Dont think its goverment or rental as its an STS and dont see many t30s in the auction catalouges.
Also ex rentals are serviced properly and it is displayed in the book as it increases the cars value at the end of its rental life when sold off. My brother got a ex rental getz for his girlfriend with 8k on the clock so the amount of kms mean little in identifing the old owner.

Re:
Matt,
Have a look at Pickles auction page and you'll see heaps of T30s being auctioned off.

If you're buying from Auction avoid ex Integral Energy vehicles, they have all had a hard life and most have extensive off road use.
