Depends where you live and how much you drive. While the situation is much much better than it used to be, cars in places like the Northeast still tend to start getting serious rust damage after 10 years or so.

That is definitely true. The salt-rust issue should play a huge role in resale value. I grew up in an area with this situation, and I knew a lot of people who would only buy used cars sourced from southern states because of it.
