Well... People probably said the same things for the 124 series...although they are probably much easier to maintain and repair.

The two I own, I bought for about 9 cents on the original dollar value of the cars.

I think the price I paid is probably typical of the depreciation after 15 years or so. I think it's a good deal if you do your own work and buy parts wholesale.

Terrible deal if you have to go to the stealership.

My 1972 108 I paid 50 cents on the original dollar when it was 14 years old. I sold it 12 years later for about 44 cents on the original dollar.

Don't know if that says or means anything. I am just pointing out my experiences.
