What is the price? At the right price, anything can be fixed.

Very true - still working out price with the owner - but wondering what your thoughts are on the condition of the undercarriage?
I hate to say it but "it depends"
I have bought a cruiser on this site from Denver. I will NEVER again buy a rusty cruiser. That cancer is horrible.
I have lived in NE, CA, mid west. The one you posted isn't bad at all, compared to what I have seen.
If the deal is good, and you can fix the little bit of rust, that is fine.
To me LC are plentifiul, and unless I am getting a good deal, (even then)I won't buy a rusty cruiser. I have had 17 LC so far. 16 dry, 1 rusty. I learned my lessons.
We are not talking about a LaFerrari here, where its rare etc...
Yup it is very little. Visible in pic 3Maybe i am not seeing what the others are seeing......but it looks fine! The lift has more rust than the LC!
Not very great pics, but looks totally normal from what I can see. Just some light "mountain west" surface rust in a few spots. This would be a buy in my book.

Thank you all for your input!
You live in SLC. Based on what I saw the last couple of years, the whole area now uses salt in the winter. You could buy a brand new LC and it would look like this in a couple of years. I would get an annual fluid film treatment and you will be fine.

Seller is holding firm at $63.5k - willing to keep it off the market for a few days while I ponder. I feel like it's just an "OK" fair market price, nothing crazy great though.
Interesting. According to KBB, my 2019 LC with 54k miles is worth around that in trade in. And my LC does not even have a speck of rust on anything.
That price is high for sure
Its certainly not a great deal, agree with @Madtiger
That does not look bad to me. And I can’t comment on price as I have not been in a buyer in quite a while (thx Toyota)…. But having just gone through a good bit of frame cleanup, I would suggest dropping the engine skid, front skid, KDSS valve cover and spare tire to have a look at various items concealed by plastic panels. It’s worth noting how difficult the hardware is to remove and if any of the frame nuts for these panels are gummed up… also check tops of cross members, inside frame components where you can see/ reach. One of the areas I was surprised by was the radiator cross member. Can be good and rusty but wouldn’t know it if you kept the panels on…
If you buy it, I would have the mechanic hit the rust with Ospho (converts rust), paint it (makes it pretty), and then fluid film (prevents the salt from starting process again)- you’ll be good for a long time…
