You didn't mean Safari?? Coz the thread only states "S"
And if so, what model and year are you look at?

Rust
around back window, back door & roof guttering. My one gets the shakes around 90kph, Havevt found out what it is yet, otherwise a fantastic truck.

You do get rust around the side windows but its not in the body just the window frame
And we dont get as much rust down here as what you get in Auckland

Also look out for clunky body mounts, worn suspension bushes and noisey tappets if the truck has high k's. Also check the front seat mounts
Don't worry about rusty window frames, they all rust, you justthrow the sliding windows and frames out and replace with a single piece of glass and new rubber (no frame).
