More like they were cheap, and functional. Getting quite expensive now, even for wrecked ones.
EDIT: The 4x4 panda was the cheapest 4x4. Early ones (and later ones) were built by steyr puch. Early ones had a unique engine to that model from the autobianchi a112? and a super low first. We had one in Italy and it was great, really go anywhere. Got sold and replaced by a later 4x4 that wasn't as good off road lacking in diff locks.
