I looked at another car yesterday, several actually, and they were all rust buckets. My dreams of a great barn find are quickly dwindling! I've decided that the best thing for me to do is spend a bit more on the most rust-free car I can find. Interior and engine/mechanical will be secondary concerns.
Re the pics above, I guess I was having trouble differentiating the degree of surface rust, like the hood and roof for example, since the car is red. But Edward put it in perspective...how much more eat up will those areas prone to rust be if the surface is showing rust.
I just need more patience
