Trunk, floorboards, bulk heads, etc. are designed to absorb impact should a collision occur.

If he cares about that he'll drive the damn Jetta! Joking, of course Mike is right. But Josh said surface rust, which often is all it is in the trunk.
Speaking as someone who occasionally drives probably the rustiest W108 around, I suspect that my car would fold in half if I tried to jack it up by a jack point... I'll stop driving it after I get it running better, then I'll part it out and most of the $46,000 in money spent on it will be re-purposed to my other cars.
