Doesn't look the worst for the money. Bit of a Sir Mix-A-Lot in the wheel department and starting to get frayed round the edges.

Jesus, the twin of my 360! Yes a bit rough around the edges but for that money not too bad (although then again, no tax or MOT so maybe should be £150-£200 scrap value!?). Pity they stopped the stainless trim by that year. I'd be suspicious about the mileage without paperwork, maybe it's got some?. Some thing's gone off around the rear of the drivers side sill.
White one in the background, anyone on here?
Beware buying based on photos of 300s!!!!!!!
Does need saving however, 3 door after all!

General rust that you'd find on all cars, check the jacking points, sills and rear arches, make sure it runs properly and make sure the top strut mounts on the front aren't fubar. Anything can be fixed cheaply though, can't argue at that price even if one of those things are broken...

I'd go for it, really doesnt look that bad - tired chrome effect trim around the windows but it looks ok overall. Certainly cheap enough considering 3 door 360's are pretty hard to come by! As Speedy says - just check for rust, everything else is easy enough to fix. Sills, Jacking Points, Front/rear valances, rear crossmember 'U' shaped in the joins can rot out due to poor design. Rust around the windscreen, any leaks into the footwells etc
