Is this rust a dealbreaker? 06 Z71 90k

[QDaddy]

I bought an 07 like that.... brake lines, fuel lines (all of them.... such a PITA) and had to replace the rear control arm mount. Luckily I was able to dump it before the stupid thing broke in half. I was looking at an 08 Z71 and made the guy take a ton of pics underneath before I even looked at it.

The truck you are looking at? Pass^nth degree

Run, not walk, away.

I'll show you the underside of my 2008 that's spent its entire life in Michigan and Indiana, and has less than 1/10th that amount of rust.

The thing that gets me is you can buy an aftermarket chrome insert for $75.00 and make the truck presentable in an afternoon so why run around like that?

There is a hole in the frame right next to the hitch on the right side, you guys see that? **** that!!!

Just checked out this 2007 LTZ. 120k miles $8500. Not sure how terrible this rust is can anybody chime in? Thanks

Doesn't appear to have any rust through. I'm in Jersey, so this is how the majority of our cars look. It doesn't look too terrible to me. If you go, get under there and start looking--and feeling-- around. Look in the corners of the frame. Make sure it's not crumbling in your hand.
