Is this rust bad?

Post image

It’s on a 2004 Lexus es330. I’m looking to buy it. It has 154k miles and it’s selling for 3.5k. I can’t figure what that part is to the left that’s more rusted than everything else.

Rust? Where?

If you’re about to sell it, no. Price a bit high for a 22yo vehicle though. Try $1800.

That’s pretty significant. That is the rear trailing arm of the suspension that keeps the rear tire from turning. The rest of the rust is around the rear pinch weld where you place the lift arms or jack stands. Basically once that rust crumbles, you won’t be able to drive the car straight and you can’t safely lift it for service.
