Looking to get back into dsm game, need opinions on strut towers

[idkiliketurbos]

Hey guys, after selling my 97 gst last fall, I had a couple different cars that made me realize I need to get back into the dsm game. I came across a car on the classifieds on here/ craigslist that looked like the perfect car, but then I saw the pictures of the strut towers. They both look like very small rust spots, but I know how big they can really be.

Here is the link for the car, click onto the google link for more pictures of his car and then scroll to the bottom for the strut tower pics. 1999 Mitsubishi Eclipse GSX AWD DSM 2G - DSM Classifieds

I would like to get some fellow dsmer opinions on the strut towers. Thanks!

Personally I don't think they are that bad. I would make sure you have money to fix it right away. There's a reason it's called cancer!

Yeah I will have plenty of cash left over if I were to buy it. It just looks so beautiful in the other areas of the car to let the cancer take its life away.

Mine looked worse and I fixed them.

However if you want rust free you will have to look outside the rust belt.

id say the car looks to be pretty clean...those strut towers arent even that bad, but id still get them fixed.

Also, the price tag seems a little bit high since it has the rust, but its also a low mileage 99 gsx which is pretty hard to find that isn't molested. I hopefully will go look at the car this week and make up my mind on it after that.
