I have been looking for a new car for a couple of months. At first I wanted a manual Maxima, but out of the 60 Maximas in a 75 mile radius, 3 are manual and they are all an hour and a half away. Since my hopes of getting a practical sportish car that wouldn't be hell on insurance dwindeled horribly I decided that I would get a nice riding car.
I started looking at Acuras and instantly fell in love with the Legend body style. I looked around at a couple, but today I found the one. Im going out of town tommorow and then the guy is going out of town when I get bac so I left some money as a deposit and I'll be picking the car up next Monday :D
I'll get pics as soon as I get the car.

My bro wanted a maxima...but in the bay area they seem to be very rare to find used...so he ended up with an 02 camery a few days ago.

What year is it? Did you manage to get it with a stick? (yes, you can actually get legends with sticks)

It's a '94, and no, it isn't stick.:(

Congrats man! :D

Be sure to not forget the :camera:'s once you've picked it up. Did you buy from a private seller or a dealer?

It's that metalic grey that is pretty unique to the Legend. If you know the color, you know what I'm talking about, it's hard to describe.

My friend has a 1988 Acrua Legend automatic as well and it can haul some ass. He's gotten 2 speeding tickets for going nearly 100+ MPH (At least that is what he told me).

I want a manual Maxima. My current Max is awesome, but a 5 speed would own.

Keep in mind that the Acura Legends have almost no aftermarket mods...

I was aware of that when I picked it out, I'm not really looking for a car to mod.. that would have been a perk, but I think I'll manage to live;). The only thing that I'll probably end up doing is getting a decent system, I might tint it up or get rims but that really depends on how it will make the car look.

Nice ride! :cool:

The paint appears to be in REALLY good shape.

Lucky Americans and their unsalted roads. :( :(

No kidding.

Nice shiny paint doesn't last too long up here unless you're a fanatic about waxing your car. :(
