Hmmm... The windows might leak just from the butyl seals drying up. If there isn't a lot of rust at the base of them but it just leaks into the interior, it might not be that bad.

The rear quarters and pillars? I can't comment there. Everybody has their thoughts of what is acceptable based on their abilities and/or finances. If you're not going to do the work yourself, have the guy that is going to do the work look at it. You don't want to buy something and then have him tell you it's too far gone.

The drivers floor probably means that the front windshield area is leaking. Could be the same dried out seal. (I'm guessing all my windows leak from the dried out seals, but it just never rained in AZ so my floors are good.)

Just be honest with yourself and don't get too attached before you make a decision. On the other hand, these don't show up all that often. I was looking for at least a year before I found mine. The ability to look at it in person is very fortunate. I bought mine without seeing it in person. It's a bit more work than I had anticipated but I'm still excited.

Can't wait to hear what happens!
