surface rust?? advice?
I'm looking at buying a 4runner that looked promising, one owner, supercharger, etc. So I asked for some pictures of the underside and this is what I got back. Any advice? Avoid this purchase? Can this be fixed?

That looks fine to me. Usually the rear is usually worse than the front.
X2 with the wire-wheel/paint
Then I would spray some undercoating on it like FluidFilm or something.
My 4Runner had a lot of rust/dirt underneath. I took a wire-wheel and cleaned up what I could, then sprayed some rust paint over it just to cover the bare metal and it looks pretty good. Because I live in one of the worst road-salt belts, I've also undercoated with FluidFilm. If you clean it up and use high quality rust paint like POR-15, or apply an undercoating you can nearly stop any future rust.
