My advice is to try to find one without rust, check it really good, b/c if it was there once it will come back again. and it would really depend upon where you go to get it fixed. and of course look for one with decently low miles, most are generally over 130,000 but you can find them with around 100,000 or even less miles, def. look for a si, just check it for all of the normal car stuff

Well your from Cali...and i'm pretty sure alot of cars don't have rust over there cause of the weather. My friend lives in San Jose now and he told me that theres some rex that he sees have no rust at all? SO you shouldn't have any problem finding one without rust.
