Is this too much rust for a GMT360 Truck?

Recently fell in love with Saab 9-7x, it uses the same platform as Trailblazer, Envoy, Rainer, etc.
Pics below are sent by a private seller I'm in touch with. I have no experience with GM and framed SUV, how does this rust looking for a 2009 vehicle in Ohio? Acceptable or I should walk away?

The door has no rust at bottom, interior is clean

is it this one that Hoovie just punted?


as I commented in that Video, there's a Fellow here in town, that works/worked ( might be retired by now) at the local Ford engine plant that had one of those.... it just might be his car... ( he's a Semi regular at the store where I work)

No, it's a regular trim with vortec 4200. Anything with the 6.0 is double the price and hard to find. I just want to know if the one I showed in pic is worth to pursuit or not. Thank you nonetheless.

Like anything else, it depends on the price. A 2009 with heavy rust on, at least, part of it. Living in the rust belt. Probably has 3-4 years before the cancer starts to spread and gets bad. How do the brake lines look?

My 2006 Aveo had very little visible rust. Rusted through the top of the trailing arm pivot bushing on the rear H-frame sub assembly which was impossible to see. Sub assembly completely broke and had to be replaced. So it's a crap shoot with rot.

Well in my opinion it probably has a little rust all over the entire vehicle. What you are willing to touch up on your own is up to you. A good rattle can here and there would probably keep it looking good for many years. If you are a "good enough" type of buyer go for it. I am sure the price would reflect the discount due to very obvious rust. Reduce your offer accordingly.

We would need to see a lot more pics of the undercarriage to give a worthwhile opinion.

You need to inspect the frame rails as they tend to rust out from the inside. Also need to look at the rear trailing arm mount areas - very prone to rust out.

Thanks everyone. Looks like I really need to do inspection in person.

Ohio gets the cars that rust out in Pennsylvania and fail their state inspections.

A 4wd like that you should be very suspicious of.
