I don't have any personal experience so I'll relay that of a friend of mine. One of the gents I play cars with is basically retired but floats around from job to job as he finds things that tickle his fancy. One of the things he was doing was selling cars for a large used car broker that dealt in high-end stuff here in Calgary. He said after what he'd seen he'd never buy a car from out east. Way more salt on the roads (surprised me) so far more corrosion. Easter Bunny is a used-car industry term for the shiny-paint-rust-bucket cars from eastern Canada.
Or so I'm told.
