I grew up on the East Coast (PA and MA) and thought rust was inevitable until I moved out here. I thought it was completely normal to get a full new exhaust system every two years.  (the steel they used back in those days made it even worse)

Definitely. It is worth the additional $1500 shipping cost in my opinion. The downsides to this strategy are:
Buying a car across the country site unseen
Getting a seller to sell it to you in this format, and trust you're not a scammer
Finding a California car with heated options, seats, winter package items
Finding a Cali car whose leather isn't dried up from the sun damage
But, cars out there exist that have been garaged and ordered with options. Just takes some effort and patience.
