But, well, there's that Marelli crap to deal with. I sincerely believe Marelli is why FIAT is no longer in the American market. It's the electrics. Especially their pathetic excuse for electronic ignition. (And believe me, I know crappy electrics. Me and Smokin' Joe Lucas go waaaay back.) OK, sorry, I kind of hijacked that one, didn't I?

I put 45k miles on my last 300SDL in the manner of 12 months without one single issue. That is maybe because it was well taken care of by previous owners and myself. Only thing it needed was a new steering box because the replacement in it sprung a leak

In europe dual zone semiautomatic HVAC controls were standard on the W124 and W126. Fully automatic controls were optional.

My SDL was driven into the ground and still runs fine... after I put some TLC into its basic operating systems.

Same here. I bought my '86 from some folks who'd all but given it up for dead. Paid $350 for it. Put a used tranny in it, did some vacuum repair and a bit of fiddling in with the cabin controls. Now I have an awesome daily driver with a bit over 300K on the clock!
