I nearly bought a 124 about 10 years ago , a GT I recall. It was really cool , again played safe and bought a 35,000 mile Alfa 145 1.6 instead .
A quick ebay search shows no Fiat 124 at all. ( but a very nice looking Twin spark GTV with only 40,000 miles from new, same as mine. And its a bargain)
This is my daily “practical” car.
Common sense not that common in my house.
