If the fender bottoms are rusting out from the inside (as on that car), there is rust in the jack point area, which almost always leads to serious rust along the door sills. Since the carpet in the car is shot anyway, and a replacement is included with the car, if you're a serious bidder I'd ask the seller to take out the driver's seat, pull of the door sill cover, and pull up the carpet to get a picture of two of the floor and the inner sill.
There is significant staining on the carpet consistent with a badly leaking heater core, and wear patterns worse than I've every seen in one of these cars around the pedals.
All red flags, but worth it if you're going into it with eyes open expecting a project, as E30 tourings really do live up to their hype. :)
