how much you lookin to spend? 10 - 15 you could get a 2001-02 like mine. For less than that you could pick up any number of 90's millenias, it really is a good car and sounds right up your ally. The repairs can be pricey but not as much as a bimmer, lexus, or benz.

if you're just buying it to drive to work, i don't see why you don't buy a Corrolla or Civic, something that runs on 87 octane and gets 30-35mpg. For the price of your legend, you can get one of the above with far less miles, and only requires oil changes and gas. Just my opinion though

For a DD I'd probably get something cheap with luxury and still keep it RWD... not to mention something that will last 'til 300k+ with a nice I6...

Something like...

No I'm not biased. Just thinking smart here.

I pretty much narrowed it down to these cars because I want something I like to drive. I have an Accord but for the most part my girl will be using it. The fixing of the BMW is no problem I get parts for a real good deal and I have a hook up at a shop. Im lookin to spend nomore the $5k on the car. The civic or similar car nah I just do not like driving them. Too small and no fun. My friend had a Legend we drove from FL to NC 3 times and it got 25+ mpg. In town 18-20. That is fine for me. The BMW gets a lil bit better then that. I think both cars are fun to drive. The only thing I like better bout the Legend is it is bigger then the 3 series, more back seat room, more trunk space. The car will be used for a lil more then just gettin to work.
