Too good to be true? Urgent!! (archive)

I am on my way tommorrow to potentially begin a life long dream or perhaps a nightmare: A CS is offered for sale with a claimed 60K miles, in original condition and with NO RUST! My question is, if I can't see the rust, can it be hiding out of sight? If so, how do I find it? I used to do body work and mechanics on 2002s so I am familiar with replacing rockers, fenders, shock towers and the likes. I am concerned that the CS may have secret compartments that perhaps you could help me locate! Any other CS-specific pre-purchase tips are warmly welcomed!
