I had a 156 selespeed for 9 years, and I had no problems with the selespeed at all and the only maintenance was an oil top up. perhaps I was just very lucky it was great car and a pleasure to drive, but as others have mentioned, I would advise that you are near to a dealer or indie that knows the workings of the selespeed and if you do decide on one to have it checked over 1st. I suppose they are a bit like marmite you love them or hate them! At the end of the day its your decision, but good luck with what ever you decide
