Went to the dealership the other day...
....and came home with this:
6-speed w/o navi, 30k miles, Acura Certified and absolutely mint condition. The thing looks like it hasn't even been driven. I just went to test drive a CLS 6-speed when one thing led to another and I ended up buying the thing.
Rest assured, springs will be coming soon.

I know I miss mine at times.
The CL isn’t put together anywhere near as good as they were.
I had a 91 5-Speed coupe so I speak from experience.
How much did you get for it anyway? I know the 94/95 models w/manual are quite coveted.

CLS 6MT Navi
I got the same car but with navi/spoiler, 7500 miles, 6 months ago for a steal.
I had a 95 Legend Coupe before. I miss the looks of the Legend, much more unique styling on the legend. your red one was hot. but the CLS 6 is great too. If you want a spoiler I am looking to do a trunklid trade! Enjoy your car.
my CLS has CT drop, tint, alum dash kit, alum door sills, 03 TL rims, TSX shift knob, clear bra, spoiler.

Thanks everyone.
In all honesty I wasn't really enjoying the Legend that much anymore. Don't get me wrong, I loved the styling and the features it had for being 10 years old, but it was obviously dated. After driving the CLS I realized how much of a boat it was too even with suspension and handling mods. The CLS is 10x more enjoyable to drive in my opinion. As I mentioned, I would have had to dump a bunch of money into paint, carpet, and leather just to keep it somewhat up to date anyways so I decided to pull the trigger. I got $6500k in trade which sucks, but I didn't want to hassle with selling private party.

I’ve seen them regularly sell in the 10-12K range.
In great shape even over 15K.
I too love the CL-S.
It’s got tons more bells & whistles and a better engine, but I still say the Legend has it beat in many ways.

It probably won't even make it back onto the used car lot. At least not here. I've seen many Acura techs or sales staff at my dealership offer customers cash the next day for a MT Legend if they every bring them in for service. I also know 2 have actually purchased a car that was traded in.
Good luck with the CL-S, I'm sure you'll enjoy it.

Of course when trade-in time finally came in 2000, they low-balled me at 7,800 because they said that nobody wanted a manual Legend.
So I sold it privately for 11,500 to someone who had been searching for MONTHS for one.
Not bad for an 8-Year old car with 110,000 miles.
I hope the same thing happens when it’s time to sell the Blue Blinger.

CLS 6MT Navi
I got $9500 for my 95 legend Coupe (auto) when I traded it in for my 1st CLS 6 speed. The dealer sold it the next day for $12k I think, they were asking $13k. it had low miles at 75k. I think it is still a great design.
