Yeah, the L 100 is non-descript and forgettable (we had to look it up to remember what it looked like), but that's what makes it such a bargain. It's not a car that comes to mind for most people, so its value has not held up as well as some of the competition. Those who do buy an L Series looking for a roomy four-door sedan for family hauling and decent reliability will never forget it.
