Well in what year did they say? 2000? They did something to help slow the strut tower rusting process. ^ Btw that's all were really talking about is rocker rust, which you can take care of your car as well as you want, but it really comes down to how much winter driving you do. And how much salt your area uses. Unless you have a automated hot pressure washer that sprays your entire undercarriage every time you get home from driving in the snow, it's going to rust. A friend of mine has a 98 Oldsmobile aurora that his grandparents passed down to him, and there's not much rust on it at all. Well, they didn't really drive it in the winter much. Just to get grocery's and visit family once in a while, and other than that it sat in the garage. No wonder.
