Is a '95 Acura Legend LS Coupe a money sink?

I would get it if I were you. I bought my 92 legend at 162k and havent had any major problems I'm now at 197k. Yea you are right about the over heating though. mine had that issue but it was just the thermostat. I got it for the same reasons as you and I am very happy with my legend. I don't think you will regret buying it
