Odds are that there is at least as much rust thru that you haven't 
found yet.

Sounds like a well cared for car that is unfortunately near the end 
of its useful life. You could buy it only to drive in nice weather, but if 
you drive it in the rain it will run rapidly downhill. I don't know what it 
would cost to fix the rust damage, probably a couple of thousand.   

I'm afraid that this car is probably only worth $500-1000.
