if the car you are looking at is in good to great shape, and you can handle driving a car with a huge front end, (some women have difficulty parking these cars) as long as it tracks straight, and doesn't make any odd noises over bumps, you will love the cars. 126 vehicles have issues with rust eating the antisway bar, they have issues with rust eating into various suspension parts, so have somebody really inspect these items. look under the battery tray, look under the rear window deck for rust.
other than these issues, I love my SD, I love my TD, and I have a nice D that I am growing into. a fine example will make your day. post pics here of any suspects you are looking at, we will all be happy to critique it for you.
