Noob Here, Need Help Please! ('94 GS)

[dj_osiris]

Sup Acura World?!?

This is my first post so please help me out if I'm posting in the wrong section. I'm almost like your stereotypical female when it comes to cars (no offense to any ladies on the boards), so please don't assume I know anything. Thanks in advance for your help.

I've fallen in love with Hondas / Acuras since I bought my 91 Honda Accord a few years ago, no mods. I have been lurking the boards and I've literally had dreams about getting my own Legend based on all the pics and stuff.

I'm going to be looking at the 94 GS in the ad I've copied and pasted below. This question applies to any car, but because it's specifically a legend I wanted to post my questions here.

*What exactly should I be looking for when I go to see the ride and test drive it? i.e. I've heard cracking of the plastic radiator is a common problem.

*What questions should I ask?

*Based on the ad info below how much do you think I could talk him down?

Background info:
*The ad has been up for at least a month.
*The owner has at least two legends he's trying to sell.
*This is in the Detroit, Michigan area, not many people have appreciation for this type of car here. There isn't much demand for Legends, but there also isn't much supply.

sorry about the caps, I copied and pasted directly from the ad...

I really use to like these cars, but the headgasket problems are enough to keep me from buying one, its not if it needs them,its when.

Thanks, so I've heard. I'm going to get it checked out just in case "when" is really "now".
