I've seen worse. How's the underside of the floor above the spare wheel, and the sills, fenders, and rear wings?
Could be kept in check with Fluid Film / Krown.

There has got to be a better choice available than that one.
a good section of the gas tank skid plate is gone.
there's a good chance that bolts will break when trying to remove them.
axle brackets can be suspect.

You’ll hate yourself if you buy that. You’ll end up with rusted brake and fuel lines.

Skip it. You're in LA - find something clean and fresh.

And rusted ac line too, run. Gas tank skid plate is being chewed through already.
My wife’s GX isn’t nearly that rusty underneath and I completely regret purchasing it. Find the RIGHT truck, it’ll take time but well worth it. Otherwise you’ll be pissed every time you roll underneath it.
If you already own it, then yes it can be salvaged with hours or grinding, scraping, painting and yearly fluid film.

Is this Rig in LA or is this the one at McGrath Lexus of Westmont? I just went and looked at one just like this
Is this located at McGrath lexus of westmont? I swear I just looked at this. If so, it has massive rust under the bumper on the rear passenger side body. The rear ac line has a leak, and panels have been replaced on it that no longer have the vin sticker, including the hood. The rear top hatch also has rust along with ththe bottom of the bottom tailgate.
x2! Let's face it, dealing with rust is a pain, and often a seemingly never-ending battle. I've had my fair share of rusty Toyotas over the years and hope to never own another! I passed up on a similar looking LX a few years ago, only to find a super clean one a few months later.
Totally worth the wait to find a cleaner example.
