Rust questions

[WannabeDSM]

so I’m looking into buying a 1998 Eclipse GSX, and I’ve test drove it and everything and it runs smooth and shifts fine and everything is good except, it has rust. And I know rust is car cancer and you should for the most part steer clear of a car with it, but it’s a rare car for only 2500$ and the rust being it’s only problem. And if I buy it I’ll have about 1800$ left to spend on repairs (hoping I don’t have to do that) but I want to know what everyone thinks and if it’s something that would be reasonable to do and get fixed.

Car isnt worth 1800 with the rust it has.

I would pass and save for a few months more, there are better examples out there..
