Undercarriage Rust
I'm looking at purchasing a 2009 997 CPO'd. The car is in New Jersey but spent most of it's life in Chicago area. I live in California. I'm concerned about the rust factor in general with east coast/snowy area cars. I have a 2010 Audi that looks brand new sparkly clean underneath so when this car looks weathered as it does (see bolts on muffler join specifically) I wonder how much it matters. Can you guys weigh in and tell me if this rust is surface and unimportant or if I should be concerned. Pics attached. Thanks!

I live in Michigan and have never had any issue with something rusting out or deteriorating due to salt & snow. It may look uglier, but unless it fails or you're having people admire the bottom of your car, you'll be OK.
Porsche also has a longer corrosion warranty to ease your mind.
It's still a good idea to get a PPI.
