Please help a new Jeep enthusiast! [View all]

My inner kid is jonesing big time for a jeep wrangler-
Found a clean one 2015 Willy 2 Door- with a 43K. Sounds , looks good ,
Underneath I rubbed a bar in the center of vehicle and rust bits would come off.
Is this a major concern? I plan to take to a mechanic for a pre buy inspection- but if any DU ers have expertise in jeeps I’d appreciate any help- tips- recommendations etc.
thank you.
