Some comments on the Legacy
It may be helpful to hear some of the comments I recall from people I meet at work.
Passengers:
Many mention the size of the hold, and some specifically ask for the Legacy for that reason, it is very large and when not full to the brim it serves as a very comfy changing room. Others comment on the amount of space in the cabin for the money they have spent. Always positive remarks. And some pax are glad to make use of the bed in the back ( no, they sleep).
Cabin crew:
On several occasions when catering for a full house I have been told how glad they were to be doing the trip in the Legacy as opposed to our Challengers and Citation XLS. They all mention that there is space to put lots of plates out at once in the Legacy galley compared to the others.
My colleagues on the flight deck:
It does hold affection with us all. Auto throttles are missed by those of us who have had the pleasure before, and CAT3 capability would be nice sometimes. But generally, we enjoy going to work in it.
Engineers:
Sorry I don't see them much as the thing seldom breaks down, but when I have needed a new LCD panel it took only 20 minutes including testing.
I do hope these comments provide you with perspectives from relevant sources. May whatever you choose bring prosperity and enjoyment to you.

Thats the sort of stuff i wanted to hear , thanks a lot . I think the Legacy is coming out in front of a 605 at the moment , the next thing is to have a good look at the build quality of the interior , i know they do a good airframe .

The interior is good but not Falcon or Gulfstream quality. (materials used)
Good, comfterble seat, lots of space to store things (depending on the cabin lay out). Everything is easy to operate (except the factory coffee machine).
Looks great if it is treated correctly (have seen the result of the opposite).
btw, the manual Cat 3a option is ony for the ERJ145 and not developed for the shorter Legacy.

Corporate FO Jobs
Some of you mentioned that you knew of any some corporate FOs. If they live near Luton, let me know, as I may have a job lead that you can pass on.

Excellent baggage space, quiet and roomy cabin, decent runway performance, a bit noisy in the cockpit, some old-fashioned way the front office is designed (no change from feet to meters, no real V-Nav etc.), good reliability and docile handling characteristics. That comes to my mind when thinking of the Legacy.
There is one for sale in Stuttgart, Germany. One year old, only the ferry flight on the clocks (about 60h), fresh overhaul on the engines (don't ask...) and nice interior. Last time I heard it was being offered for < 18 Mill. USD (just disregard the price they're asking). Registration is D-ADCP, being offered by this company as well:
Boutsen Aviation: corporate aircraft sales
Good luck and have fun with it!
