I say buy the darn car if you like it. I like you have been looking for the right 124 for the last 2 years. For me that was a 94 or 95 Black w/Parchment with exceptionally low mileage. I found it in Fla about 3 weeks ago with 41k miles. Paid a little over 9 grand for it. One owner, perfect car. Previously had a 94 that I sold with 66k on it, that spent its entire life in Buffalo, NY, it had some rust from time to time, which I always took care of, and wasnt that much of a bother as long as you kept up with it. The real good ones are very hard to find now, if you can get one and it is what you are looking for, don't hesitate. I don't need another car until spring but I knew another would not come along again.
