Can any of you guys tell me what to look for as far as rust damage is concerned? I don't have much experience with rust on cars. This Cherokee is from New Hampshire. It's been in Massachusetts since 2015.

If there is ANY bubbling in the paint, you'll find holes.

Nope. The paint and body seem perfect. The driveshaft looks oxidized as hell.

As far as the paint is concerned it's super clean. No dents or dings.

Run a small magnet in the common rust prone spots looking for Bondo.

Look for bubbling around the windshield and the trim that runs along the roof too.

You can drop a magnet in a latex glove as to not scratch the paint.
