Default Advice ASAP: "New" Car

Well I'm looking at a 94 Del Sol Vtec model. The guy is the original owner, no wrecks, and all service records done by Honda with documentation. The car sounds great except one thing. He said there is some minor rust at the seam. By seam he means where the front and rear bumper meet. I was the first one to contact him about the car so he is holding it for me, but I don't know jack about rust since I am from AL. Anyways, here is the only picture I have of it. You can see it right where the rear bumper and quarter meet.



Would this be hard to fix from what you can tell?

Shouldn't need to cut and weld, but it's always best to cut and weld.. Check the surrounding areas to make there isn't rust that hasn't penetrated the surface yet, check all other wheel wells as well, if there's rust there, thats enough evidence to speculate that rust might be in other wheel wells.
