Opinions needed! Too much rust?

Hey folks,
Hoping for some unbiased opinions on whether I should buy this or not. 2011 2.7L v4 4x4 access cab 4-speed automatic with only 48k miles. Seller is asking $16k. Exterior/interior is quite clean and has seen little use. The kicker is it’s been used on a small AK island its whole life so plenty of salt exposure. Used to tow a smallish boat. Everything runs well and no leaks to be found. However, frame rust is present, especially in the rear. Looks like the leaf springs definitely need replacing as they are the recalled ones but with the rusty bolts and mounts I’m sure would be a bigger project. Would you buy?Thoughts? Thanks for the help!

 

I wouldn’t take that for $16.00.

 

Ewww.... No.

 

is this truck still on this remote AK island and is the only vehicle for sale there?

 

As someone who’s made that mistake before, run

 

Nope, no way, run. Man that thing is a POS.

 

Run away from that thing!

 

What everyone else has said. The exterior may look nice, but oooooh that rust underneath. No way, never never never.

 

I can sell u a bucket of rust for $10,000.00

 

Should have made a poll, cause there would be an astounding amount of ‘No, would not buy’

 

over/under take the over.

 

I would........

 

No.

 

That thing is toast. It has negative value as anything other than salvage.

 

Looks like it was dredged up from the sea floor.

 

I was like, wtf….

And had a good chuckle

 

Well the consensus here seems to agree with my gut. Will be passing on this one. Thanks everyone for your thoughts and advice! Really appreciate it.

 

NO WAY FOR ANY PRICE,RUN AWAY FAST.
That truck is a rust bucket.

 

My brother has a rusty 2014 off road, its been a great truck, but years of coastal air salt combined with winter road salt has done a number on it. He's having alot of issues with it now, 0/10 do not recommend. His looks about the same as that one.
