I will happily buy a 100K Panda. If there is no sign of it being done, cam belt, clutch and a full service with EVERYTHING done will be deducted. I'll also expect it cheap because there will be hidden things to go wrong. There always are.
However, any signs of body damage and I walk. e.g. Lie on your back and look up at the boot floor. Any rust there = rust elsewhere like jacking points and sills. It might not be terminal (yet) but it wont be long.
Back axle will also be an issue but that's not simply a Fiat failing and anyway newer model back axles also fit the 169 Panda (current model Panda, Fiat 500 Ford Ka).
