the whole car...
but seriously, front shock towers, rear wheel wells, door sills, bottoms of the doors, floor pans, door hinge areas, torque boxes, rear bumper mounting area

Depends on the car and where you live as to the amount of rust. Usually the hatch is one of the first places for rust as well as door bottoms. Again, the more you pay initially for the car, the less rust you should have. 2 to 3 grand should get you a basically rust free car.

Look for rust under the car . Also, check the underhood wiring, if it looks like a hacked rats nest then find another car. Chances are that if someone couldn't handle some simple wiring then what else did they butcher ?
