Hi there
I'm planning on buying an own car and got sucked in to the Panda hole
I live in Switzerland and will use the car mostly for trips to the mountains, short travel trips to the neighbour countries (Italy, France..) and to take my telescope out into non-light polluted areas around where I live. I'm not planning to use it on a daily basis as I'm a avid cyclist and Swiss cities are so small you can basically go everywhere by foot
I started researching a bit and it seems there are some pre-2003 4x4 Pandas that look quite reasonable (first look..), under 100'000km, they seem to usually go for around CHF 3000 which might be around £ 2300. But I am still confused with all the different models and variants they made - is there a list of some sort which gives a bit of an overview? What's the difference between Sisley and Country Club? What's the Young model? CLX?
Also, I'd be very thankful for any kind of novice advice in general, what to look for when I buy one, etc.?
Thanks a lot!

Rust, rust and rust!!! Most mechanical problems can be relatively easily resolved but any body corrosion is costly.

I've got a 2wd Panda which does everything you ask of it. Personally, I love the late model single point injection models. I know others prefer carb cars so its probably just down to personal taste as my SPI model has been very reliable.

The 4x4 cars command a premium price. I'd like to get one at some point but it'd be purely down to wanting one rather than having any practical use for it given how capable the 2wd is.
