Not surprised at that price... , not too bad really, late solid front arms help... interior didn't look too bad either.
Looks a lot of surface rust that is typical of salted roads, depends how much off-road mud was up in the sills, jacking points and cross-memebrs really
Would need much closer, better photos of seams and specific areas underneath to really say.. but I tend to agree with Aidan & TMT, probably not too bad and dealablle with, using a wire brush and a few cans of Dinitrol and some rust paint to keep it at bay in the short term.
Anyway, is sold now, but the comments hopefully have helped for the next one...
Watch out if the prop is off, it could be fine, or it could have costly problems... at least make sure it is supplied and hopefully test-drive after fitting it (with the correct bolts) before flashing any cash. IT could just be removed as a precaution (often in error, or due to uneven worn front/rear tyres)
You ideally want one with a rear locker (doubt you'll find a double-locker one there?), if it doesn't seem to difflock, don't worry to much, fairly easy to sort.
Please put your rough location in your profile so we know straight away where you are speaking from, thanks
