Too much rust?

Rust looks fine. Thats pretty decent for any salt state. And its a poor mechanic that can't get those cam bolts lose.

Talking rust it looks fine.

All things considered though I'm with Rock Lobster on this one. A BRAND NEW SR5 would run you not a lot more and is a LOT newer, no miles, comes with a warranty, and the financing (if needed) is probably better.

 

oh...27k? I missed that part...ummm perhaps not...

 

That rust is a non-issue especially in the north east. Just coat it with Fluid Film yearly and Taco on.

Take note for the future: there are members in here out west or down south that have no idea what rust is or what it looks like... so take every comment with a grain or 2 of salt.

 

Thats $5k more than I paid for my loaded 2010 back in 2011!!!!!!

 

So true. Seen pics on here of guys in the desert asking if a 20 year old AZ truck with a tiny bit of surface rust is too rusty

 

IMO that is a lot of rust. Where you need to look more is back further under the bed, aside the fuel tank and inside the frame. For that price, that truck is a solid pass. If it is that way on the outside, imagine the inside. No!

They put salt on the roads here. Regardless, the question was not if that is a lot of rust for Michigan, it was "Too much rust?" and IMO that is too much rust to pay $27,000 anywhere.

 

The oil leak should spew enough oil to coat some of the frame and prevent rust.

 

What year is the truck? Sorry if you already said, I missed it

 

...and half the time it's not even surface rust but instead just simply dirt stains.
