Not from my experience but if you lived directly on the beach and had it in the ocean spray every day it would rot the car.

I've seen (and bought) motorcycles that lived their lives outside in San Francisco. Even when miles from the water, they'd still rust and corrode much more than their counterparts in the inland area that I live in.
