Thinking of buying a 240 w/80k...but it's rusty, opinions?

I would suggest you look at structural elements to determine if the rust is fixable. Sometimes a bad paint job can cause the body panels to rust prematurely and not indicate a rotted frame, but with the amount of rust you seem to be describing I would stay away from that car. With these 240 Volvos high mileage is almost a non-issue if maintenance has been performed.
