I could have told you so too.

But....., rear floors rusting out is hardly unique to old volvos. The problem is always water getting in from somewhere, on 122's it's unusually the windshield gasket leaking. On mustangs on up to rangers, it's the cowl rusting and letting water in through the firewall.

That water never really get's a chance to dry out, the carpet wicks it up like a sponge and gravity takes it to low points. Here on the east coast, add salt to that brew and you have the basis for the 2nd law of thermodynamics.

In fact, my 91 marquis has a hole below the windshield you can stick your hand in, it was a car from the beach down here. They turn to dust if not cared for.
