If that isn't the most suspect thing I've read in a long time...
As someone who lives in the rust belt and owned my share of crappy rusty beaters, any time someone is selling a car that was just painted, or "just needs paint to fix rust" it's a sham. That's code for RUN REALLY FAST.
That reminds me of a car I saw yesterday that had rusted through at least one layer of metal around the fuel filler neck, but someone had sprayed primer on. Got a bit of a laugh out of that.
