Here in LA, CA I hardly ever see any rust damaged cars, but man! do I see oil leaks galore.
Any time an "out of State" car shows up I see rust but almost no oil leaks whatsoever.
I don't know if it is an combination with heat and smog that kills the seals in engine/transmission.
One thing to keep in mind is that it's a lot easier to replace hoses and seals than to repair rust damaged cars.
As far as cooling hoses go, it is only certain hoses that goes bad on a regular basis. Others last for 200K miles even on cars here in LA.
