hey mate, i bought my sprinter in a condition that sounds similar to yours, i paid 1500 and thought it was excellent value. I guess there's not really any point in getting an RACQ inspection, because their check-points don't really seem to apply to older/"specialty" type cars, and even if the car is good for what ur looking for, itll invariably get a poor raitng.
Spots to check for unexpected rust are the bottoms of the doors and the roof at the join with the b-piller. There seems to be some issue with poor drainage here from the factory. So, maybe you could just pull down that bit of the hood lining and check it out.
I also know of a VERY good panel beater in your area (off Bribie Island Rd) who worked on my car. Email me if you would like his details. This person was refered to me through someone with a mustang with its paint and body done by this panel beater. I've also seen the results of his work on my car, his 2 mustangs and his falcon. It is EXCELENT. We've since decided to do our mustang with him. He is also very well priced.
Anyway, good luck on ur purchase if u decide to go through with it, its always good to have more ae86 drivers.
PS maybe you should move this thread to the general discussion forum if u havent already got one there.
Thanks
