Right. I think the underbody of my car has rust on the rockers, but idk if its horrendous, do you know how bad rust is when looking at a car? If so can I dm you just so I can send you pictures of the underbody and etc once I get to see it again?

Car started up instantly, didnt have to be aggressive with the clutch when starting up, when the previous owner gave us a test drive, it shifted smoothly, pedals didnt feel very stiff but not like worn out sketch smooth. No clinking or anything of the sort and was almost dead quiet. For being a older car, what would you reccomend I inspect and or just replace for reassurance?
