Is this rust too much?

LOL, but you are hi-jacking this post...

But to answer your question, looks like a lot of rust to me, not sure I would purchase something like this. Only you can make that decision. The problem is that you can't see what's going on inside the frame rails.

 

OP, you should feel great about your purchase.
New guy?? Umm, that's not looking very good to me. It might be just fine, but if you want to add a lift or do any basic repairs like brakes and such, you will find that those rusted bolts are a pain in the a$$ and half will break-off on you. It should have a VERY attractive price with that much rust. Definitely below blue book.

 

If you do buy it, make sure to for sure get it sprayed. Yoy may want to make life easier on the techs and take off your bumper and absorbers since those areas tend to accumulate more salt than others.

 

Shoot, sorry all! I do appreciate the feedback though.

The market for these is outrageous here in Idaho. 2001's w/ 250K going for $9500! Considering the current used car market, this one is priced well. Easy for emotions to skew these purchases...hmm

 

<asbestos suit=on>Yeah, but a 2001 is a 3rd gen and way better than a 4th gen.</asbestos>
