Rusty Cordoba - hca
I recently purchased a used 1999 Cordoba Estate from my local main Seat dealer. The car is an official Seat used car and comes with their warranty. It's been very good other than I have noticed a few rust patches underneath the car.

I did my own HPI check (result = 100% clean)in addition to the garage checks and the car looks to be 100% genuine (no body panel mismatch, good paintwork, & all plastic parts have similar date codes etc), so I am confident it's not a cut & shut and hasn't suffered any major damage.

I have booked it into the dealer so that they can sort it out and I am confident that they will (it's still under the origional manufactuers body work warranty).

The protective coating underneath the car looks poor and has come off in a few places. The rust is nothing serious, but cars just don't rust these days so I am worried that there might be something wrong.

Does anybody else have a rusty Cordoba? Should I request that the garage totally recoats the underside of the car?

Thanks in advance
