Rust question
Hi folks - first post here in the RR Evoque section.
Thinking about purchasing a 2015 Evoque. It's a Wisconson/Chicago car so salty winters!
What do you think of these pictures? Is the rust I see manageable/removable/repairable? Looks do-able to me but I don't know this vehicle very well. (Ha VERY familiar with Disco 2 rust issues, but not the Evoque).
And while I'm thinking about it - does the Evoque have any achilles heel regarding rust and corrosion I should be looking out for?
Thanks for any and all opinions about this.

Thanks Brandon - I agree the rust could probably be delt with. I just looked under a local Evoque to better understand that frame rail.
But - got the carFax and this vehicle has almost zero service records. Not even any warranty maintenance noted. And I just got off the phone with my local Rover service dept with one of the mechanics there. He said these cars are sensitive to not changing the oil, and to not using the exact oil Land Rover recommends. So this car won't be in my future.
