Rust in car boot sign of not strong car

[ProD]

Hi,

I want to get an advice from you experts before buying car.

I've been looking for a car for low budget for a while and found a 1989 Mazda familia for a cheap price which has full option. When I went to check it, car was acceptable for the price he demanded.

When I check the car body; I found both sides of the car boot deck was rusted heavily. He said that it'll take only Rs.2000.00 to get it weld, but I had a doubt that if the boot is rusted so much car body isn't strong enough. Also couldn't see car underneath.   

I've seen in car sales when you go to sell your car first thing they check is car boot. They lift the carpets and check whether rust is appearing.

So I would like to know rust in car boot is a sign of car is not strong enough?

I would like to hear from experts.

Thank you

could be because of a badly repaired previous crash, or a water leak .
