The title says "SALTWATER" yet you allude to some rust that shows up in a pic. Given the voluminous information you have provided it's a definite "maybe".

Pics would help.
Description of the rust....location? does it appear to be due to chipping or scratches (perhaps it was curbed or due to a lift or jack)?, etc

Smell?

Interior condition?

Check Engine light?

Work with us a little.

Where is the rust? Most of the car is plastic and aluminum except the frame which has some sort of black protective stuff on it. Is it just the exhaust system?

So I have this condo...... on the ocean. A/C goes out. I tell the guy I want a quality unit outside that I don't need to replace every 5 to 7 years. He says on the ocean??? Does not exist saltAIR eats them alive. That would make my mind up about a saltwater car.
