I bought mine about eight years ago for about $8,000. It sold new for $80,000 or so and had about 80,000 on it. I drove it up to 140K and then sold it for about 5400 and did only routine maintenance on it in the mean time.

I drove it up to green bay a couple of times cruising effortlessly at 85 mph when the traffic allowed it. Point and nudge the gas and you are gone in a great wiff of torque. Sort of like a german made t bird. but with real quality and handling.

YOurs has inspired me to consider 126 coupe ownership again!
