I've been driving my son's car -- '94 900S -- this winter, although my 2003 Aero has no rust at all having spent 7 years in Boston. The 900S has spent 16 years in perfect rust-forming conditions. 12 in the Boston area and 4 more in Saratoga Springs, NY -- the land of snow and salt. This car spent months basically sitting idle in NY after being driven through salt. And to this day, there is no rust. A couple of surface spots but nothing structural (except for the rear tower mount which punched through....common problem).
So that's the first GM-mobile, 16 years old and a lifetime of salt. I think 9-5s are much better protected. You won't have any problems.
