I agree - best car I own. I looked for two years to find one I could afford. 290K miles and solid as a rock. The later 124 chassis is my second choice (or is it the 107? Can't remember). The leather seats do need a serious going over with Leatherique - maybe some day. They creak and squeek constantly if you aren't driving fast enough. I don't notice it much now though.
