Within reach of cities prices tend to be a bit better, there is a larger pool of buyers with money.
The road liquid is supposed to be better than the salt for chassis.
Waxoyl is often used in later vehicle life to cover up rust which is starting to emerge.

Insurance is based on postcode, previous claims involving that type of vehicle, and value of vehicle.
With modified vehicles, you are often at the mercy of specialist insurers like Flux. With a standard Golf, you won't be.
