Hello

Hoping for some advice.

I am considering buying this car

I asked for a shot of the longs without the rocker covers

The longs look good some slight surface rust.

However the jack-points have some rust and what looks like a crack.
How big of a job would this be to fix?

Would it be costly

Should I buy this car even with the rust on the jack-points?

I already agreed on a price verbally, the owner promised no rust on the longs

We exchanged emails agreeing to the price

Later I asked him for pics of the longs and to his surprise there was rust

Should I still buy it but ask for a lower price??

Added pics of both sides

Thanks for all of the responses, it really helps.

Passenger side is the worst...

Passenger 1-7
