'One of the previous owners saved it from the scrapyard'

 

Say what? If you magnet fished the canal and dragged this fucking thing out, you'd hit it over the head and throw it back in.

I've considered getting a 300m for a long time, I think they are great looking cars, handle well and faster than you might think the the 3.5 (the 2.7 is an unreliable pos that should have been in the scrapyard the moment it left the assembly line apparently). The biggest weakness is the automatic transmission really, as usually people dont service them resulting in failure eventually. I've never seen one with cloth either, and the paint is clearly ruined. Not worth 1300 Euros in this state imo.

I had a floppytop Sebring with the 2.7 as a hire rental car in California in 2005 - engine seemed decent enough to me.  Mind you it was almost new at the time.

Reduced to £150, must be worth a punt to someone.

It's even got three month's MOT on it.  Tempting to phone and find out what's wrong woth it.

At the price I want to pay for a car here, EVERY single one has ruined paint, which is the downside of living where the sun shines 300 days a year.  On the other hand, none I've looked at have been rusty, an upside of living where the sun shines 300 days a year, and no salt  and mixed in crap is thrown on the road in winter.

Yeah, I know they are Spainish prices. I compare them to the German market, where they are sitting in similar price ranges . I'd hold out for a better one for similar money as the price wont drop significantly from 1300, but I have the feeling that you'd be waiting for years for that to happen in Spain.

^^ Prices here are a bit mad. €4k for an average condition, 10 year old Focus isnt unusual. Plus there is a ownership transfer fee to pay on top of the purchase price, and a fair bit of red tape to do

The Spanish seem to own cars for many years, so when they do sell them, most are knackered. I enjoy looking around the various secondhand  dealers to see what chod is about.

There is definitely no "Cars for €200" threads for Spain.

How rotten does a Lancia need to be to fall in half?

Not very.  Fulvias break where the front subframe attaches to the inner wing. A highly stressed area, the stress makes the steel rot even faster. The arch gets a split at the top before the big crunch finally happens. Looking for a Fulvia in the eighties, never saw one I could afford that didn't have the problem.
