Thanks for that Christian. If i can find a Fintail cheap enough, why buy a W114-W115 over this?

The W114/W115 will probably be more reliable and spare parts will be easier to find.

I have a W114/W115 Stretchlimo review somewhere. Let me see if I can dig it up.

Yes, the W114-5 will be more reliable, but a Fintail is more unique and classic

Oh, go find the Strechlimo

thanks

True. I'd go as far to say that the W114/W115 is also a unique car since not many of them can be seen on a daily basis. You actually see more W123s than W114/W115s.
