And then there is the other end of the spectrum. My wife had a 2003 F150 4x4 Stepside, which we bought new. 60K miles, and looked beautiful topsides, but was a rusted POS on the underside, to the point of frame rot, by 2013. After having a new section of frame fabricated, I had a firm offer to buy it for $2,500 and was ready to sell. My wife wanted a new Toyota FJ, so we took it to the dealer to see what they'd give us for it in trade.
We took a ride in a 14 FJ, and liked it, and decided to talk numbers. So I told them what we had to trade, and disclosed the full extent of the rot to them. The appraiser looked at it, and they wound up giving us 5K for trade, to close the deal that day. The "Black Pig" was gone and we drove away in a nice FJ.
