I have some rust between the jackpoints on my 1987 wagon, not a big deal to me. A few days back, the link in the SLS, the small pin, snapped from rust and raised the rear end to full height. Bouncy? A little. I crawled underneath and pulled the lever down and scooted out quickly. Lots of what is under my car has crust but its solid otherwise. I have restored Fiats and others with way worse rust that OP's proposed purchase. You can stop rust and welding panels, even at home has never been easier.
