“Wow, that’s a lot for a 24 year old Acura”

At first glance that’s what I would think too- but words don’t do this car justice and this 2 owner car isn’t for just anybody. This beauty is probably best suited for either the Honda NA museum or someone who had a Legend at one time in the past and would like to relive those days. If you could walk into an Acura dealership and buy a Legend this car is what you would drive off the showroom floor.

This car has always been garaged when not being driven, hidden from UV rays, never seen snow and rarely seen rain. During the winters while stored it was started and ran monthly. The original owner is the mother of my NSX tech, an Acura factory trained master tech. Frankly part of the reason I bought the car in the first place is that it is that it was impeccably maintained, is gorgeous and is the same color combo as my NSX- red with tan- so they look awesome sitting together.

This Legend L with a dealer-installed rear spoiler is as close as you can get to LS trim, the only difference being the black side moldings that are body color on the LS. It has soft-close doors like my wife’s Phaeton, leather interior, dealer-installed wind deflector and sheepskin seat covers. The paint is original with no accidents or repaints.

About 3 years ago to update the look I tinted the windows, installed lowering springs and larger more modern 18” wheels to bring this classic design current. The original wheels are included, have no curb rash and are in the same condition as the rest of this 36K classic. The newer wheels have a couple small blemishes on the curb side. This car could easily be returned to as new with minimal effort.

The interior is as outstanding as the exterior. The front seats have always been covered with OEM sheepskin covers except when the leather was being cleaned and conditioned.  A picture shows the driver’s seat bottom and side bolsters uncovered to show the like new condition of the original seats. Pictures show the car with a new set of OEM floormats in place (purchased with the car new) as well as the originals which have always been shampooed and are in perfectly acceptable condition themselves. I actually prefer the look of the originals as the new, unused mats just look too perfect if there is such a thing.

This car can be driven anywhere in high style and comfort.  Everything operates and functions as it should and as new. Occasionally the ABS light comes on; a restart clears this and I haven’t bothered to look any further into it since it clears itself. The only cosmetic blemishes on this car are minimal rock chips on the grill garnish (not the hood itself), one on the front bumper cover and a small area on the rear cover (pictured). The front chips will be easily touched up and a decision on the rear will be up to the next owner.

So that’s about it. Nothing forces the sale of this car besides too many horses in the corral. With an original price of 34K after dealer options, I don’t think the asking price is unreasonable for the right buyer who wants a virtually brand new, meticulously maintained 24 year old timeless classic that you simply can’t walk into a dealership and buy today. Thanks for looking!

Sony Honda EV venture's plan for online sales has dealers squirming

Fri, Oct 14 2022

TOKYO/DETROIT — A new joint venture formed by Japan's Sony Group Corp and Honda Motor plans to introduce a premium electric vehicle later this decade, and the automaker's U.S. dealers are anxious to be part of the sales process. Sony Honda Mobility said on Thursday it was aiming to deliver the first of the unnamed EV by 2026, starting in the United States, and will sell them online. The success of Tesla at selling EVs without franchised dealers is putting pressure on established automakers to overhaul their retail networks. That leaves dealers across most brands concerned about their place in the changing world and whether profits will be squeezed. The online aspect of the Sony Honda plan, as well as the lack of details around how the vehicle will be sold and serviced, has raised questions with the Honda and Acura brand dealers. Many nonetheless expect Honda to work through the existing retail network. "These issues are certainly a concern," said Brian Benstock, general manager and vice president of Paragon Honda and Paragon Acura in Queens, New York. "The best path forward is with the dealers." "We have a role (automakers) can't replicate," said Benstock, who also is on the Acura national dealer advisory board and has spoken with Honda officials about the new vehicle. "There's no way that Honda wants to hurt their existing dealer body." Some dealers questioned why Honda would even consider trying to work outside the current U.S. sales network given its national reach. Honda has about 1,100 Honda dealers and 270 Acura dealers. A Honda spokesperson referred questions about the joint venture to the new company. Sony Honda spokesperson Mai Nagadome said there are still a lot of details to finalize, but selling through the dealers has not been ruled out and customers would feel uneasy without some kind of after-sales service process. "The cost of continuing to develop (internal combustion engine) products along with EVs and autonomous tech and software for the next generation vehicles is proving to be quite the challenge," said Peter Hennessy, dealer principal of Atlanta-based Hennessy Automobile Companies, which includes a Honda store. "I get teaming up with Sony, but it should be done in conjunction with the dealer network, not outside it," he added.

Acura RLX Sport Hybrid SH-AWD set for LA debut

Fri, 01 Nov 2013

Acura has announced that it will be showing the production version of the RLX Sport Hybrid SH-AWD at the 2013 Los Angeles Auto Show. You'll recall that the standard 3.5-liter V6-powered RLX has been on sale for some time, and that our review of Acura's flagship sedan was mixed. On paper, at least, the RLX Sport Hybrid SH-AWD should fare better.
Sporting a similar hybrid powertrain to the one expected to motivate the NSX supercar, the RLX uses a 3.5-liter V6 paired with a seven-speed dual-clutch transmission and a trio of electric motors to generate 377 horsepower, net a combined fuel economy of 30 miles per gallon and offer the security and performance of torque-vectoring all-wheel drive.
The RLX will hit the LA stand on November 20. Scroll down for the full press release from Acura.

Honda tags Civic, Accord, HR-V, Fit and more in fuel pump recall

Mon, Jun 8 2020

American Honda Motor Company's recent issues with fuel pumps continue, as a new recall affects a large number of Honda and Acura vehicles from the 2018-2020 model years. The recall covers a total of 136,057 vehicles, including select 2018-2019 Acura NSX, 2019 Acura RDX, RLX, and RLX Sport Hybrid models, as well as 2018-2019 Honda Accords, Civic Hatchbacks, Civic Type Rs, HR-Vs, 2019-2020 Insights, and 2019 Fits.  National Highway Traffic Safety Administration campaign No. 20V314000, published May 28, 2020, states that the low-pressure fuel pump inside the fuel tanks of the aforementioned vehicles could falter or completely fail. Should the low-pressure fuel pump fail, the car could stall, regardless of its state of motion. Recall documents reveal fuel pump might fail due to swelling of the fuel pump motor impeller, which would cause the pump to seize. This issue is the result of a problem with how the parts were manufactured. These "lower density impellers" were "exposed to production solvent drying for longer periods of time." This caused some impellers to have surface cracking, which resulted in "excessive fuel absorption," which warps the impellers. Here's a breakdown of how many vehicles of each type were potentially affected:  2018-2019 Acura NSX: 146 2019 Acura RDX: 34,405 2019 RLX: 124 2019 RLX Sport Hybrid: 206 2018-2019 Honda Accord: 11,227 2018-2019 Civic Hatchback: 24,235 2018-2019 Civic Type R: 1,785 2018-2019 HR-V: 39,676 2019-2020 Insight: 14,959 2019 Fit: 9,294 Honda will notify owners to schedule an appointment with local dealerships. The fuel pump assembly on all affected vehicles will be replaced for free. For more information, visit NHTSA. Related Video:
