Up for sale is my 1989 Legend L coupe. I have owned the car for a little over 4 years now, and bought it off the original 1-woman owner, to the best of my knowledge. It has 187,200 actual miles. At the time I purchased the car, it had a clean title, but more recently, it had to be branded a salvage title(transferred from me to myself), due to a rear end collision.
*The bad:
-Needs new automatic transmission.(Only first and second gear work, reverse is completely gone and will not engage, and the car will only go about 45 mph tops, and that is pushing it.)
-Rear end and side front-fender damage.
-Transmission crossmember damaged and needs to be replaced along with new transmission mount.
-Horn and cruise control do not work, and SRS light all come on, due to suspected faulty "clock-spring" wiring within steering wheel, but is repairable.
-A/C does not work due to frozen clutch bearing, and is believed that a new compressor clutch is all that is needed that would get the a/c going again, and the compressor belt is still intact. Prior to this problem, the a/c was blowing cold, and I added some Freeze 12 refrigerant in the system, but this was already after the fact that I had the refrigerant converted to R-134..
-Loose steering, and is believed to be worn rack and pinion, but not entirely sure.
-Interior center console lid needs reupholstering.
-Although mostly original, the interior is dirty from various food and coffee spots, and needs a good, deep cleaning.
*The good:
-New radiator, thermostat, gasket, radiator cap, and upper/lower hoses were installed at the time I purchased car, so never any problems with the car overheating, or with the cylinder heads needing any kind of work.
-Newer front upper control arms on both sides.
-Newer front inner and outer tie-rod ends on both sides.
-Newer power-steering pressure line within the past year.
-Newer, remanufactured alternator within the past 2 years.
-Newer battery within the last 6 months.
-Although shown as missing in the engine photos. the factory air cleaner box and associated duct hoses are on hand, and are easily installed back on car, and, of course, are included.
-All 4 windows roll up and down fine, with exception to the passenger's side front window, due to a slightly interior window rail molding.
-Power locks, power trunk release, and power sunroof all work great, with the sunroof especially operating very fast with no leaks or cracks.
-Very good tread on all 4 tires, with all 4 tires matching size, and both rear tires were replaced last summer.
-All original exhaust system, including muffler, as well as catalytic converter from the factory, and the car JUST PASSED CA SMOG again with no problems.
-2 new Denso oxygen sensors recently installed.
-6 new NGK Copper plugs.
-Newer front and rear brake pads in the last year.
-Oil always changed every 3000 miles since I have owned the car.
-Excellent overall condition original interior headliner with all dome/reading lights working properly, along with both front door courteousy lights.
-All original Bahama Gold Metallic factory paint, not the greatest of condition, but is believed that it can be rubbed out to a nice shine.
-Factory Acura Am/Fm cassettee stereo will work intermittently, and when it does not work, the LCD display will only show fragments of its fully display and the sound will just completely go away and then come back.
-Matched set of 4 Infinity Reference Green Series 6-1/2" installed speakers both front and back. The original speakers are not available, and were discarded long ago due to typical dry-rotting.
I just do not have any more time to deal with the car. The car is sold as is, where is, with no warranties expressed or implied. I have described all the defects of the car to the best of my knowledge. With a new transmission, or the old one rebuilt, this car would still have plenty of life left in it and will drive like a Porsche down the 101 or the 405. The car is located in the Los Angeles area, and it is solely the responsibility of the highest bidder to pick up or ship car. Lastly, this is a lifetime Southern California car, being mostly rust-free, with exception to some minor surface rust around front driver's side front fender where damage exists, edge of muffler housing, and just a bit around interior gas tank door.

2019 Acura RDX undercuts rivals with base price of $38,295
Tue, May 29 2018The all-new 2019 Acura RDX will hit dealers on June 1, 2018, and it'll come with a window sticker bearing a base price of $38,295. That's for a front-wheel-drive RDX; adding all-wheel drive brings the base price to $40,295. Standard equipment includes the AcuraWatch safety and driver assistance package, which bundles automatic emergency braking, adaptive cruise control, lane keeping assist, and road departure mitigation. All RDX models, regardless of trim, are powered by a 2.0-liter turbocharged four-cylinder engine that sends 272 horsepower and 280 pound-feet of torque through a 10-speed automatic transmission to the drive wheels. That's more power than rivals like Audi Q5, BMW X3, Mercedes-Benz GLC300, and Volvo XC60, all of which are cited by Acura as key competitors in the small premium crossover segment. The EPA has given the 2019 RDX estimated fuel mileage ratings of 22 city, 28 highway, and 24 combined, or 21/27/23 with all-wheel drive. That's better than the AWD 2018 RDX's 19/27/22 rating, but under the class-leading 22/29/25 figures of the BMW X3, though the Bimmer has less horsepower and torque than the RDX. Perhaps even more important than the low-for-its-class starting price is the reasonable increase in cost as the trim level rises. Opting for an RDX with the Tech Package will cost $41,495 and bring with it navigation with real-time traffic, perforated leather seating surfaces, an ELS Studio audio system with 12 speakers, blind-spot monitoring, rear cross-traffic monitor, and front and rear parking sensors. The new RDX A-Spec package branches off the Tech trim level and adds sportier styling with blacked-out accents replacing chrome, 20-inch wheels, 4-inch exhaust tips, an ELX Studio audio system with 16 speakers, heated and ventilated seats, LED fog lights, and sport seats trimmed in leather and Ultrasuede. A red interior package is optional. At the top of the RDX pyramid sits the Advance trim for $46,395. That model gets cool stuff like a high-tech adaptive damper system, 16-way power driver and passenger seats (heated and cooled up front and heated in the rear), a head-up display, surround view camera, genuine wood trim, and a hands-free power tailgate. It's worth noting that since the A-Spec is based on the Tech and not the Advance trim it's not possible to get the adaptive dampers or fancy front seats packaged with the sportiest-looking RDX model. Here's hoping those bits are added as A-Spec package options at a later date.
Acura recalls 7,387 new RLX sedans over suspension bolts
Wed, 18 Dec 2013Acura has announced a recall for the 2014 RLX due to improperly tightened rear suspension bolts that could come loose and increase the risk of a crash. The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration has yet to formally issue a recall notice for the RLX, but Acura says that a total of 7,387 RLX sedans are affected, which seems to include markets outside of the US as there have only been 4,456 of the sedans sold through November.
While there isn't an official NHTSA statement, there is one complaint on the government agency's site for a similar incident that caused a driver to almost lose control of the vehicle. Recall notices will be mailed out to customers starting next month, but in the meantime, Acura has issued a press release, which is posted below, and includes contact information that will be useful for affected RLX owners.
Honda, Acura EVs will adopt Tesla's NACS charging port
Sat, Aug 19 2023CARMEL, Calif. — As more and more automakers pledge to install TeslaÂ’s North American Charging Standard (NACS) ports on their electric vehicles, Honda says that it, too, will hop on the bandwagon. Future EVs from Honda – as well as its luxury division, Acura – will have NACS charging setups, giving these cars access to TeslaÂ’s huge network of Supercharger stations. "It is quite important," American Honda Motor Co. President and CEO Noriya Kaihara said in an interview Friday. "We also have to push NACS, as well. It is clear." As for when this will happen, Honda is currently at the mercy of General Motors. The Japanese automakerÂ’s next two EVs – the Honda Prologue and Acura ZDX – use shared architecture with GM, leveraging The GeneralÂ’s excellent Ultium battery technology. The ZDX will launch first, and have the traditional CCS port that isnÂ’t compatible with TeslaÂ’s chargers, but it will switch to the NACS design in 2025 or 2026. "We clearly depend on GM," Shinji Aoyama, Executive Vice President of Honda Motor Co., said during Friday's interview. "Once they [switch to NACS], this will follow for ZDX, as well." Looking to the future, Honda is part of a joint venture with seven other global automakers that will see the installation of more than 30,000 EV fast-charging stations across the United States and Canada. The chargers are still in development, but Honda says the companies are all aligned on the core values that are needed to make this charging network successful. "The software needs to be really reliable and really open infrastructure so it communicates with every OEM's software," Jay Joseph, American Honda's Vice President of Sustainability and Business Development, said in Friday's interview. "The hardware needs to be capable of the highest levels of charging. It needs to be secure, it needs to be reliable, it needs to be accessible." Joseph said the current public charging companies know and understand the shortcomings with their systems, and that TeslaÂ’s Superchargers set an example of how to do chargers right. "If you look at what's so great about the Tesla Supercharger network, it's the maintenance," Joseph said. "They stay on top of it, they've got someone onsite monitoring the equipment, they're monitoring it electronically and remotely, and they fix it – fast. That's probably the most important thing." All the more reason for Honda – and other automakers – to switch to the NACS charging setup as quickly as possible.
