My folks had a 412 4-door sedan before I went to school, and it was later replaced with a 412 LE Variant, the car I basically grew up in.

Personally I've had 4 412 Variant's (yellow, white, green and brown) and a blue 411 Variant the past 10 years. When I sold the blue 411 I said 'never again' (but I think I lied :oops: )

Old thread, just bought a very nice original 412 Variant LE automatic.
I love the look of this wagon.
