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.

2014 Acura RLX gets trick hybrid all-wheel drive system for LA

Tue, 19 Nov 2013

Acura has endured a year of mixed reviews and middling sales for its new RLX flagship. Meanwhile, the Japanese automaker has been readying what may be the very best version of the car for its debut. Now the wait is almost over, as Acura will show its 2014 RLX Sport Hybrid SH-AWD at this year's LA Auto Show.
When it comes to dealerships in the spring of 2014, the RLX Hybrid will be the most powerful production car Acura has ever sold. The combination of a 3.5-liter V6 and three electric motors - a 35-kilowatt motor pushing torque to the front wheels and two 27-kW units feeding the rears - creates a total system output of 377 horsepower.
Those rear-end electric motors do more than just add power, they also drive the rear wheels without a traditional rear drive shaft and differential. This newest iteration of the Super Handling-All Wheel Drive calls upon the two rear motors to both drive and brake the rear wheels, vectoring torque in cornering situations for additional grip. All three electric motors make use of regenerative braking to feed electricity back into the system's 260-volt lithium-ion battery pack.

Profit at Honda doubles on strong global sales of cars and motorcycles

Thu, Aug 10 2023

TOKYO — Honda reported Wednesday that its April-June profit more than doubled on healthy sales of its motorcycles and cars, as the Japanese company also received a perk from favorable exchange rates. Honda Motor Co. said its fiscal first quarter profit totaled 363 billion yen ($2.5 billion), up from 149 billion yen. Quarterly sales jumped 21% to 4.6 trillion yen ($32 billion). HondaÂ’s financial service division also reported growing sales. Honda said its profitability improved, especially in North America, where production recovered. Automakers around the world were slammed by supply shortages because of production delays related to social restrictions caused by the COVID-19 pandemic. But such restrictions have eased, allowing production to pick up again. Auto sales were about the same in Japan in the latest quarter as in the previous year, while dropping significantly in China because of intense competition from makers of battery electric vehicles, Honda said. Honda is banking on growth in EVs in the U.S. market, where it recently announced it is joining six other companies in the creation of a high-powered charging network across North America. Worries about climate change have helped set off a dramatic shift in the auto industry toward battery electric vehicles, allowing for relative newcomers like Tesla and BYD to prosper, while catching some Japanese makers off guard with their hybrids and regular gasoline-powered models. Honda said a computer chip shortage crimped its motorcycle sales in India, while sales rebounded in Indonesia as production recovered. Honda said it sold 901,000 vehicles in the latest quarter, up from 815,000 a year earlier. It also sold more motorcycles worldwide at nearly 4.5 million, up from 4.2 million. Honda added 23 billion yen ($160 million) to its quarterly operating profit because of the impact of currency exchange rates. A weaker yen, trading lately at about 143 yen to the U.S. dollar, is a boon for Japanese exporters by boosting the amount of its overseas earnings when converted into yen. Honda stuck to its full year projection of an 800 billion yen ($5.6 billion) profit, up from 651 billion yen a year earlier. Honda shares slipped 0.9% on the Tokyo Stock Exchange.
