Picked up the coupe at the Airport and hit the road.only problem was that the radiator developed a crack on top. Nice road trip, she was worth every penny.

Holy smokes! You went clear across the country!

I flew to Denver Co. and bought my Legend and drove it back to Seattle, Wa.

I would drive up to 150 miles... I would fly anywhere on the North American continent if it were worth it(driving back of course).

Damn, you guys are dedicated. I would drive a couple states over. I would not drive from the West Coast to the Eastern Seaboard for two reasons. One, its a pain in the ass to drive 3k miles. Two, I wouldn't want to put unnecessary miles on it. If I found the right Legend, I'd have it transported.

Didn't drive but I had the one in my sig transported from California to Pennsylvania

Haha, it'd either be you or my dad. i swear he won't say it but he's always wanted a MINT 6MT Milano Red Coupe. He might fight you for it.

I bought her a good number of years back, but after researching the regions with the best availability/ condition/ price ratio I flew me and my boy down to Miami to check out like 10 different rides. I bought one and drove back to NY. Got the car, partied hard, and saved enough to cover the flights, drinks, hotel, and gas...

nino418 · 05-06-08, 06:52 PM

If i had the money to buy another one i would fly to figgin Japan to bring one back. When i was looking for my legend i went and looked at 3 sepeate ones all about an hour away. i drove something like 300 miles total or more finding the right one in my price range, (i am 19 so i saved up and bought it myself.) But after 3 months of searching when i was about to give up, i got a great deal on my 1992 ls 5 speed coupe which came with evey thing i wanted. i was luck to get it and i have loved it ever since i brought it home. So if i was going to find a syster for my baby i wouldn't mind going through the same thing to hunt her down.

Drove 4 hrs (bothways) this weekend to pick up a Type II with 56K miles for my brother

.I drove about 4.5 (bothways) hrs when I got mine about 4.5 years ago.

brynosaur · 05-06-08, 10:10 PM

sauce or not sergios car is beautiful.... when i saw it i drooled a tiny amount. or maybe that WAS the sauce.....

i bought mine in good condition (except for the failing TB tensioner lol) and 138k for $4000 and i drove about 8 miles to get it. =p

=p

Yellowraven · 05-06-08, 11:33 PM

I TOOK 2 PLANES FROM TORONTO.... DOWN TO KENTUKY
AND DROVE 12 HRS BACK NORTH TROUGH THE HUGEST ICE SNOW STORM

BUT I THINK A CLEAN 6 SPD LEGEND IS WORTH THE TRIP....
