I am not arguing that mileage isn't important, I just think it is mostly overrated when compared to years. Obviously they both have relevance, just how much is the issue. Knowing about the owner, how and where the miles were driven, etc. are very important as well.
As for corrosion, I don't think that is near the issue it used to be, even in the salt belt.
