That is about the $$.
Usual rust but the caravelles suffered from bad paint. If it is one of the metal flake jobs it goes real dull.
Check for leaks in the cooling system - them pipes are REAL dear.
Make sure the AC works good

Check for coolant leaks where the cylinder heads meat the block, pull the diff filler plug and see if it is over full, auto fluid can leak from the
auto and fill the diff, mine does that! and it has 150,000 kms on it too.
Great car though can't beat them on a long trip with kids.
