Corrosion issue

I looked at a 1976 Cessna which had some surface corrosion per the owner. We had the A&P sand down the spot to ensure it was not pitting, etc. When they sanded it down, they found a hole in the cowling which had been filled with bondo. They were not aware of the hole or repair. While the initial spot was surface, the hole concerns me. They said there is no internal corrosion. Should I be too concerned or should I assume that all these older Cessna's have some corrosion? Not sure if the hole should make me run. The owner has come down a couple thousand on the price but my concern is finding more spots when she is sanded down for repaint...would most take the risk of getting her at a decent price or would you run the other way?
Thanks,
Dan
