I assume you are in southern Ontario, Graham?
If so that is good news. There is a market for these cars there. Here in eastern Ontario and western Quebec, not so much.
That said, I have to agree that this isn't unreasonable rust for mid to eastern Canada, for a w123. The car is repairable.
Give yourself a bit more time to think about this. Be sure you won't be kicking yourself a few months later, if you do let it go.
