Cryptic, jargony phrase
I am translating an anonymous tip about a theft ring in a large company. I am fairly sure the document is from Argentina.
After describing the theft scheme, logistics, drop-off points, etc., the author writes this about the perpetrator:
XXX pasó de un palio que se viene a pedazos a un 307 en 2 meses.
I can't make heads or tails of it. Any help?

Fiat Palio
It seems to me that this sentence is talking about cars.
XXX went from having a [Fiat] Palio that was falling apart to a 307 in 2 months.
Please see:
Los delincuentes tenían más poder adquisitivo que yo. Manejaban una Ford Eco Sport último modelo a su nombre y yo un Fiat Palio de mi suegro que se caía a pedazos

... “Veo que vienen tres vehículos particulares (una 4x4, un palio y otro no identificado)

I believe 307 in this case makes reference to the Peugeout 307

No, Muriel. I didn't read Lorena's answer. There was no answer when I started writing mine, but then I got a phone call and posted it several minutes later.
