Ok guys, this is my problem. I plan to get a 94/95 LEgend type 2 6 speed coupe. Seems so hard to find one in good condition without paying high price. Run across a 2001 CL type S with 118k miles for $7500. And I can get a 96 SC400 for about $8k with 90k miles. And Legend seems to be the oldest model among 3. I never own a legend nor any of these cars that I mentioned. I mod and drove a 93 legend sedan before when I was staying with my friend. Even it is a L model with auto, I love the ride. And the CL model seems to have tranny problem, I dun want to spend $$$ to replace it later on. So I am wondering is the aging Legend still worth the $$$ and it actually catch on the realibility and fun of a CL and SC400? Thanks for the input! :bigok:

i dunno??...i drove a friends sc400 b4 on the highway and all, and it felt ok, but not what i thought...i didnt really like the light steering feel, felt artificial, ours feel stellar...rwd is great, but i cant think to where i came across any difference in drivetrain...(maybe the steering feeling was the diff?)...but overall i wasnt all that impressed to where i felt i should have bought an sc. and i have a 91 coupe, not even type 2, and it didnt feel soooo powerful 2 me...a bit torquey but hey...and the models b4 95-96 sc (and 1g GS) have STUPID electrical problems! so engine being reliable, yes...but the rest of the car (electrics), i dunno...peace
I am going to test drive the car in 30 minutes. See if I like it.

Well its already pimped for you..
I'm in Nor Cal and here SC's are the car of choice in the hood so every thugg thizzle has one with color coded tint on 22's in the name of the hyphe movement, there all over the place. In my eyes these guys degraded the car for me so I have no desire to ever own the car I once loved. I don't see very many Legend coupes though let alone 94-95's with the intgrated third break light.

Try to find an 03' CL-S 6 speed to drive. You'd probably like it a lot more than the SC.
The Legend is a boat, yet can be inspired at times.
The SC400 is a boat, but a very uninspired boat. Sure its quiet, but its booooooring, and ugly to boot until '97.
- 2001 CL type S with 118k miles for $7500
No way they are that cheap yet. Are they? Paid 24k for 29k on the ODO a year ago. (edit)
