I bought my 1988 Legend L for $500.00 and it is still running at 245,000 miles! The waterpump leaks and oil drips onto the exhaust but I still drive it about 30 miles a day and it has much power and life to offer even in the condition it is in. When buying any car used, be sure to take it on the freeway for some distance and then park it and look under the hood for noisy conditions. Look at the tach to see if the idle is rough and also look to see if it is leaking oil. Ask the person you are buying it from when the timing belt was changed (very important) Good Luck on your new car!
