Advice Very Much Needed:

2000 with 280,000 km and this is what the frame looks like. I’ve done small jobs on cars and it’s been a dream of mine to own an 3rd Gen 4Runner. Talked the seller down to 7K. Can I please get your advice on the frames integrity. I poked at it with a screwdriver all around and nothing went through, but I’m worried that the test isn’t enough. Is this frame savable with a wire wheel and some oil penetration/sealing?

Anything helps please and thank you.
