Kept maintained a M110 280 fuel injected car is very reliable, perhaps equal to the diesels. It is a fast and powerful engine/car. The only downside is mileage.....probably about 14-16 city, and maybe 19-20 highway.... (on premium)

If I had the cash I'd buy a 280 if I found a nice one.


The 280 motor also needs periodic valve adjustments just like the older diesels....
