What makes it terminal?

I ask cause im looking at one thats starting to bubble in the roof channels

Friend checked out the car today, has a wierd road noise at 100k's sounds like tires, the roof channels have rust starting along and slight bubbles of rust in the sunroof. Front diff pinions need atleast new seals, tfr case is leaking

Hence im concidering such a high milleage vehicle, id like to go 80 series deisel but its a bit too much of a stretch for me atm.
