Sitting in the grass
A friend of mine is selling an 86 Iroc. The only hold up is that it sat in the yard for a while and the brake lines are rusted....Should this be a red flag? Is there anything else I should look for when going to see the car?

Re: Sitting in the grass
As noted by others, sitting in the grass will rot the car really fast. Rodents can also be a major issue, not only chewed wires but them living in the heat ducts etc.
