We have a shop here in town that specializes in inspecting used cars
before you buy.

They also warn you if a car previously lived back east ;-)

They should warn you if it lived in snow country, near (25 Mi) any
ocean (salt air), or other factors that degrade vehicle longevity.

oceans dont degrade vehicles (unless you drive in them).
Mums beetle lasted 30+ years (before it was totalled in an accident)
and spent 99% of that within 6mi of the pacific, and 80% of
that within 1mi, during that time it was re-painted once.

What'll do cars in is humid climate.
