I purchased vehicle for my 16 yr old to drive and found out after getting it that the whole underneath the Rodeo that it is rusted out by the shocks all the way to the front.

When we took the vehicle in for service we were told there is significant rust damage to the frame. It could not be fixed and as a result was not worth putting much money into the car.
