Ah, memories. Mine was white too (black interior though). The suspension wouldn't bother me that much, since to run it seriously you'd have probably upgraded much of it anyway. If the brakes just need bleeding, not a big deal either.
Like Shawn, I'm concerned with the rust. I'm no expert, but it does seem worse than just surface rust. I'd pretend to be the owner and take it to a body shop for an estimate (if possible). That way you get a professional opinion (mine's worth what you paid for it :wink: ). It bothers me that he told you there was no rust, when there clearly is. Makes me wonder about his honesty.
