deciding about a used above ground pool.

hi,
found someone selling an oval above ground pool by strong industries, the model is the coliseum.the pool was originally installed in 2008 and seems to be in good shape except for some surface rust spots on a couple of the bottom rails and where the skimmer goes.can someone shed some light on this, is this common, should it be a deal breaker? after researching this model pool I think I'm getting a good deal, would like some input on wether this is a common issue that could be dealt with.
thanks
john

Sorry you haven't gotten any replies to this....let me shoot an email to Waste (aka Ted, one of our liner installer guys) and see if he can pop in here and offer you some advice.

Welcome to The Forum!!

While this pool may sound like a good deal, you may want to think about just buying a new one and save yourself the 'rehab' issues.

If you do want to get the used one, I'll give you my best advice on how to make and keep it usable, but you'll need to do a good bit of work.
