San Clemente, California, United States

This is a rare opportunity to own a like-new example of Acura’s top of the line luxury sport sedan in Garnet Red
Pearl which is 100% original. I am the second owner and like the first owner, I have meticulously maintained this
car to keep it showroom quality. It still smells like new. The interior has been kept protected by all things
ranging from a dash mat, rubber floor mats, and $325 custom made front seat covers by Wet Okole. I drive it so
infrequently, the car is practically sterile. (weekends only).
I should note that any paint flaw you think you see in the picture is more than likely a reflection from the
polish. I could rant and rave about how this car looks like it just emerged from a time capsule but only seeing it
in person does it any justice.
For those of you who have never had the pleasure of driving a Legend before, the engineers at Acura knew exactly
what they were doing when they crafted the powerful 3.2L V6 engine. The Legend is wonderful to drive! Under
acceleration the characteristic growl of the Acura V-6 is amazing. At cruise the car is smooth and quiet.
In terms of its mechanical reliability, this car gets an A+. Although the usual timing belt/water pump change
interval is usually 80k miles. I have already gone ahead and had those components replaced as a preventative
measure. Because as you may know, rubber can still crack over time regardless of use. Oil and filter are new and I
make sure to keep it that way. It also has like new Michelin MXV4 tires which make the car ride extremely smooth
and quiet. Air conditioning blows ice cold, like it should. If you're a connoisseur of the Acura Legend, your
search may be over.
While I'm not in any particular hurry to part with this machine, I've come to the conclusion that I have too many
vehicles already and this beauty doesn't do me any good being the "eye candy" that I drive on weekends, so while
I'm reluctantly posting it for sale, I am ready to find it a new home.
I know it's a tired old saying, but whoever ends up buying this car is getting one hell of an automobile.
Now you have the chance to own an incredible piece of classic Japanese luxury.
NOTE: Vehicle is also subject to local sale.

2015 Acura TLX confirmed for New York debut
Wed, 19 Mar 2014Acura has announced that the 2014 New York Auto Show will see the arrival of the production TLX - the sedan that will replace both the TL and TSX in the company's lineup. The TLX was already previewed at the 2014 Detroit Auto Show as a near-production concept model, meaning we already have a very solid idea of what the 2015 model will look like.
What we didn't know, was that Acura has finally gotten on board with some advanced powertrains, rather than just plucking stuff from the Honda parts bin. Okay, that's kind of a lie. We've seen both of the TLX's engines in previous Honda products - a 2.4-liter, VTEC four-cylinder and a 3.5-liter VTEC V6 from the Civic Si and Accord, respectively - but the transmissions will be totally new.
First, an eight-speed, dual-clutch automatic will be paired with the base four-pot. The V6, meanwhile, will get a nine-speed automatic. Unfortunately, there's no mention of a manual gearbox. Acura's Precision All-Wheel Steer will be standard on the front-drive variants for both engines, while the 3.5-liter V6 will also be available with the brand's Super Handling All-Wheel Drive.
Production Acura NSX spied getting sharper on the 'Ring
Tue, 22 Jul 2014Acura hasn't been shy about trotting out the concept version of its upcoming NSX hybrid supercar - we've seen it colorized on Facebook, wearing Super GT drag and running wrapped at Mid Ohio - but until now, we've missed seeing the production version at all. Thankfully, our boys in the field have been diligently camped out by the Nürburgring, just the place for Acura engineers to get the NSX shaken down and ready for the public.
The first thing you'll likely notice (and no doubt appreciate) is that Acura is staying very true to the concept car. The same wind-tunnel-carved wedge shape is in evidence in the car's silhouette, and details like aggressively scalloped engine vents behind the cabin have made it through unscathed.
We do notice that there are some vertical elements at the bottom of the front fascia/grille that appear to be revised, and the mirrors are considerably less slinky than those of the concept car. Still, by and large, we're seeing a direct translation from show stand to real life here.
Acura dealer association nabs retiring pitcher Mariano Rivera for New York spot
Thu, 26 Sep 2013Mariano Rivera, considered one of Major League Baseball's best relief and closing pitchers, bought an Acura when he debuted in the major leagues in 1995, and has owned nothing but Acuras since. So it was only natural for the New York Acura Dealers group to strike up a partnership. The fruits of the deal can be seen in the latest New York Acura commercial, called "Legends," which stars Rivera and Acuras new and old. It's narrated by actor Steve Schirripa, who played Bobby "Bacala" Baccalieri in HBO's The Sopranos.
"The spots are a nod to Acura's history and the years it overlapped with Mariano's career," says Scott Rodgers, chief creative officer at Tier10, the ad agency that developed the campaign's concept. With the "Legends" campaign, Rivera and the New York Acura Dealers continue a partnership that has provided $800,000 to the pitcher's charity, the Mariano Rivera Foundation.
The hardest part of the commercial was was finding the cars to star in it, according to Douglas Sonders, co-founder of 8112 Studios, the production company that shot the commercial. "Social media saved the day for us," he says. "After days of cold calls and e-mails to all of our contacts, we ended up sourcing everything we needed in 24 hours after asking our online contacts for assistance."
