I'm a new owner to a 2005 Pontiac Vibe AWD with Monsoon sond system. I purchased this vehicle on eBAy from Speedy Auto Sales, Erie PA
https://youtu.be/T0b98y755hk. There were no photos of the undercarriage and I wasn't able to determine if there was rust under the vehicle. I drive the vehicle back to Richmond, VA after a long and arduous journey to get it. I expected to spend some money because of what I paid for it. I had it safety inspected and was told that there was a transfer case leak and a pinion leak. I took it to AAMCO for repairs and the tell me that there is too much rust and they're afraid that if the try repairing it the crossmember might break. I have 2 choices, I can either drive it until the wheels fall off or attempt to replace or treat the rusted out parts. I would appreciate ANY advice given. A few repairs and upgrades that I will do anyway are:
Install centre console 12V outlet.
