Default How much is this worth?

I found an ad on CL for a 95 Cherokee. Only 120k miles, the guy says it runs and drives great. It's got the tow package and tinted windows. Interior is in "very good" shape and all doors and windows/hatch work. The bad part is the paint is chipping and the floor pans are rusting through and he says near the mounting points for the leaf spring on the passengers side the unibody rail has rusted through. Is rebuilding the unibody rails hard to do? Don't have any pics but I'm thinking of going to look at the damage tomorrow. Anyone have any input?

Moved to Chat, not a tech question.

JMO but if the uni-body sub-frame rails are rotted through, it is quite a cost intensive job to fix correctly/safely. That will undoubtedly be more than the purchase price. I'd pass unless you can get it dirt cheap and use the parts on a rust free shell. Don't play with safety issues.
