Looking at an 04 DC 4x4. It's in the PNW. I live in upstate NY, so I'm trying to find one with minimal rust. I had the guy send me some videos of the frame (see 4 videos and photos below). I know it has some surface rust, but I'm trying to gauge how concerned I should be. It has 210K miles on it...he's asking 15. Seems a bit high, but I LOVE the green color and haven't come across many clean ones. Appreciate any insight!

Frame looks pretty great. 15K is too much though. Need more info on service.
