I agree, at least he isn't trying to hide anything, but that is far more than surface rust I can see there, which means it's likely hiding in a lot of other places too.

You definitely need more pics than that. If that’s all the corrosion seen, I would get it, take a metal brush to it and put some good zinc primer and paint on it. The axles aren’t very rusty, or the brake hats, I wouldn’t be worried at all yet.

Doesn't look that scary to me either but I'd like more pictures.

I’m just seeing surface rust also. Beryl green LJ? Is it a Rubicon? Doesn’t look bad. Get more pics
That would be considered mint here in New England.
I think it looks pretty good.

I would take a look in person myself. If it wasn’t critical, I would definitely consider buying it.
That looks far from irreparable, but it will likely need a bit of work. Could be anywhere from blasting it with fluid film and forgetting about it to spring cup replacement. Most likely a sand and paint job.

Rust? That looks more like a diamond in the rough than rust.
Just look for stuff like this. The yellow area is as bad as I would even think about fixing.
