Dealer sent me a 3 MB video file of rust "damage" to my 2013 Pat Sport (~ 46,000 miles). I couldn't load the video file so captured the four corners from the video - they're kind of fuzzy as a result. I've read a few threads here about the dreaded frame-rot of some of the earlier Pats. I crawled under the car and tapped the rust areas - seemed like "paint" chipped off but I didn't find any perforations. Not sure just how bad this might be. The rest of the car - body/paint, 2.0 engine, CVT, interior, tires/brakes, etc - is in great shape so would hate to junk her but don't want to invest car-value money (~$6450) into fixing it. I understand it's tough to give a good idea of what this might entail looking at just pictures of the four corners. But can anyone give me a rough measure of what I might be facing in the way of $$$ to fix. In the hundreds? In the thousands? Am I actually better off getting a newer vehicle and letting this one go off to the sunset?
