I want to say thank you and thanks to all of you for the help.

I did drive an acura TSX yesterday and I loved it, it was a lot lighter and nicer to drive than the bigger, heavier TL. With that said it was strangly roomy in there and wouldn't hesitate to buy it if I had kids. Although the crash ratings are a bit on the low side. ('08 with 62k miles for $15,200)

I drove an 07 legacy and it was great and to be honest if the salesguy wasn't 350+ I'm sure I would of liked it a bit more, but I would say 05-08 legacy is very nice, I'd like to have one with nav and moonroof though. ('07 with 92k for $12,xxx)

I also drove a 2011 legacy limited, they messed up the price and had it for $15,388 instead of 17,xxx they have it for now, but it did have 52xxx miles on it. It had the CVT transmission which was kinda weird. However this was a really big car and I didn't like it that much.

I missed a 2006 civic ex-l, fully loaded with nav, sunroof, heated seats, etc with 65k miles for $10k.

I'm gonna wait around for a good deal and just drive my car, hopefully spring comes soon and I can address the leaks and burning oil.
It takes me a while to work things out since I have to work them out by myself, but it's probably best if I don't take on any debt before buying a house.

Thanks.
