Problem is, here in Ohio they spray that blasted brine all over the roads whenever there is any chance of two snowflakes. As a result many vehicles here start showing extreme corrosion and body rust within a few years.
So I'm considering going south to find better quality. Can anybody give me some input, based on where you live, on where to look or just as importantly where to avoid?
I'm currently thinking of centering my search around Nashville, or Asheville TN. This seems to me to be the closest place to my location (central OH) for driving distance where I think there isn't as much winter snow and salt usage. THen the search would naturally pan out to the carolinas, ala, etc. (I usually use searchtempest, and autotrader and a few others.)
My oldest son recently bought a 7 year old truck in TX - good price, great condition but a long way to go. I'd like to end up closer.
So am I missing anywhere closer/better? Low price markets? Flood of used vehicles? Michigan seems to have a lot of vehicles, a lot of trucks, but they also get a lot of snow like us.
Speaking of floods, obviously, places to avoid are important - like it's probably good to avoid New Orleans and other areas that have experienced recent flooding.
Thanks in advance for any help.
