All in all , there’s more chance of getting an original car with no rust repairs , and all it will need (if anything) is a quick wire brush underneath and painting .
I agree on your first point Porsche are less expensive because they are more plentiful in California. But Price alone could say that.
And I agree on your second point, California is a big car culture. but I really do not see cars looked after better from there than else where.
As for your last point, I think I clearly pointed out how wrong you are, it is a crap shoot rust wise on California cars.
Better than Michigan worse than AZ.
"California" in a ad says 'average climate' if anything on rust.
