You're kidding, right? You're surprised because a Massachusetts car has rust? For starters, try looking in parts of the country where it doesn't snow regularly. This is an oversimplification, since Colorado cars tend to be pretty low on rust since they don't use that much salt. Similarly, even though it doesn't snow in the southeast US, the high humidity takes its toll. Now, Allantes tend to be driven only in good weather, and truth be told, my first 93 (polo green/beige interior) was a MA car with no winter miles, so keep looking. By the way, Polo Green was the second most popular color in 93. I've got another one that I bought about a year ago from the Los Angeles area.
