virtually rust free?

I don't believe he understands the definition of "virtually".

vir·tu·al·ly
ˈvərCH(o͞o)əlē/
adverb: virtually

    1.
    nearly; almost.
        synonyms:   effectively, in effect, all but, more or less, practically, almost, nearly, close to, verging on, just about, as good as, essentially, to all intents and purposes, roughly, approximately;

I guess not. Maybe he meant it had a "rust feel" to it.

[ec_co]

no no no, you misunderstand. you are only paying $8750 for the rust, that's virtually free!

  virtually rust free

If the inner rockers look like that, the rest is just more swiss cheese.

Maybe that's what he meant... "virtually Swiss cheese".

"Only issue is" Yeah, well that's a biggie.

I've seen worse rusty cars I don't think we need to judge

[cudajunction]

We have all seen rustier cars, but described as virtually rust free?  I can judge that.

You have to admit that claim is pretty absurd. 

[anlauto]

I agree without pictures of the floor pans it's hard to tell the extent of the rust.

However....

Using adverbs like "virtually" is just based on opinion. It's this particular seller's opinion of his own car....

If that's what he believes I don't think we need to "bash" any person for their opinion....or their car......

[Challenger in NC]

Bash is a pretty strong word- I was not making fun of the guy because he has a rusty car, my car had all sorts of rust in it when I started. What I was questioning was the statement. He may truly think his car is literally rust free, but it was my opinion that based on these pictures, I would not have used the term "virtually rust free". However, it's his ad, he can say whatever he wants.  I hope he sells the car and someone finds a neat project to work on.

I'd be more concerned that the VIN and fender tags are lost.
