So I'm thinking of buy a 2004 Jeep SE V4 for 9K with 85000 miles on it. However this is a ton of rust behind the tires

probably should post in the correct forum. that being said, no I would not be afraid of the rust you showed, its normal. look closer at the actual frame and body, that's where the rust occurs that you would need to be concerned about.

Ha ha ha, ohhhhhhFlorida.

In New England, that's what a 1-year old vehicle looks like. :rofl::rofl::rofl:

The rotor comment is pretty spot on, though. If it's moved recently, then it's definitely got a siezed caliper piston. Not a huge deal. Like $60 and an evening of work.

Oh, and I'm too lazy for a wirewheel. Just a cheap rattle-can of Rust Reformer has proven some pretty awesome results on my stuff before.

Frame looks decent. That rust isn't super scary as others have said. Also aside from frame and floor pans look at the fenders. I know my TJ started to rust through
