Undercarriage Rust 2005 G55?

Looking at a 2005 that lived in Florida most of its life but now has been up north for the past 6 years (under 6K miles while up there).

Seller sent me a video of the truck on a lift and I see surface rust on some suspension components here and there but the frame rails looked solid and what needed to be dry was...

Anyone have any experience with rust clean up/ undercoating?

The rest of the truck looks very well cared after and it seems the maintenance is upto date. We're talking about getting a PPI via a MB Specialist but should the rust worry me?

Get it up on a lift and see for yourself in person and have a PPI done. How many miles?

78k miles

Truck is 8 hours away. Planning on flying up this weekend if my schedule allows. Talked with shop that maintained truck, it sounds like surface rust and seller is willing to take that into account
