i see a lot of people who live in rust belt states drive to a state such as, California to get a clean car and bring it back with them. some even hire towing companies to haul it back to them after its been inspected.
one of the only good things about CA is the amount of cars there are in the state; from what i have seen, certain cars in CA will always be cheaper due to the abundance of them. combine that with no snow/rust issues and its clear why people come from out of state to buy a CA car.
some people can break even or come out saving a little money buying a car from CA if its cheap enough and having it hauled back. ive seen it happen a few times in the lexus world (people looking for the 'rare' manual variant of the IS300. there's usually a bunch here, but not a lot in the mid west).

I've only been in Montana once or twice in the snow, years ago. With the population density being so light, I don't think they salt much like they do here in the Midwest. Plus, the humidity is typically very low. High humidity accelerates rust and also the effects of salt. I assume the local buyers would be aware of their conditions. I do know that rusty cars are almost unseen in Montana.
