I'm considering buying a 2008 SUV that spent its first 11 years in the St. Louis area. My question is, is road salt used to melt ice in the wintertime in MO like it is used in other parts of the midwest/east coast?

I'd rather not buy an SUV that has been exposed to lots of road salt due to rust issues. Thanks in advance for your reply.

Yes. We use salt. But we don't have more than a few occasions to need it each year, so it's not a constant winter issue. Not sure how much that matters. I've never kept a car long enough to notice any issues.
