“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!

Acura RLX pricing and launch plan detailed

Tue, 15 Jan 2013

Acura has released pricing for its upcoming flagship, the RLX, at the Detroit Auto Show this week. Powered by an all-new direct-injected 3.5-liter V6 rated at 310 horsepower, the front-wheel-drive sedan replaces the outgoing RL model (2011's worst-selling car of the year) as the automaker's new flagship.
In addition to boasting the most spacious passenger cabin in its mid-luxury class, the new range-topping Acura features the automaker's first-ever application of Precision All-Wheel Steer and Jewel Eye LED headlamps. Standard equipment includes Lane Departure Warning and Forward Collision Warning, with Collision Mitigation Braking System (CMBS), Lane Keeping Assist System (LKAS), Adaptive Cruise Control (ACC) with Low-Speed Follow, and Blind Spot Information (BSI) system trim and option specific.
The four-door will initially be sold in five grades (prices exclude a destination charge of $895):

Acura recalls 2013-2014 ILX, ILX Hybrid over fire-prone headlamps

Wed, 09 Jul 2014

The Acura ILX just can't seem to catch a break. The Japanese automaker recently decided that the ILX Hybrid would no longer be offered in the US for the 2015 model year. Now, a possibility for fires has also cropped up in the compact luxury sedan. Acura has announced a recall of 14,078 examples from the 2013 and 2014 model years because the headlights could overheat and ignite the car. The company also issued a stop-sale for examples still at dealers until they can be repaired.
The campaign covers ILX and ILX Hybrid models with halogen projector headlights from specific build dates. The problem is that the headlights aren't cooled sufficiently when the cars aren't moving. After several hours of sitting with them on, it's possible for the lights to build up so much heat that they melt and potentially cause a fire.
To Acura's knowledge, there was only one case of an ILX actually catching fire due to this problem, though. According to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration defect notice, a car was idling at a dealer for about two hours when the model went up in flames. The automaker brought the vehicle in for a detailed investigation to find what caused the blaze.

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.
