Surface corrosion can be "cleaned, acid etched, alodined, and epoxy painted." What's often found in the main spars is intergrannular corrosion, which starts inside the spar like cancer and works it's way outward. When you can see the exfoliation it is usually too late to do anything except replace the spar.

I'd get a pre-purchase inspection in any case.
