This auction is for my very rare 5 speed Legend coupe. Iam the third owner ( purchased about 6 years ago). The previous two owners were Acura fanatics who babied this thing and it spend a lot of that time in rust free Florida. Car is lots of fun to drive and has been very reliable. My original plan 6 years ago was to make it a restoration project however that fell through once my wife drove it and made it her daily driver ( which it was till about a month ago). Unfortunately during these 6 years it took a lot of abuse including a couple of minor side swipes the hood popping open at 40 mph , some rust ( no rust on frame only body) and some mechanical neglect.(again this gas been a daily driver for 6 years with nothing major to worry about over that time).
So now my wife gets a new car and it needs way too much work to restore to original condition for me to deal with. It needs a lot of work to keep it as a daily driver but iam hoping there is an Acura guy (or girl) out there who appreciates this for what it is. At this point it needs work and it can be parted out or repaired or restored. Any of these are viable for the right person. Iam going to list all that is good and bad that comes to mind. I hope I don't forget anything and please ask questions. Iam not looking to rip anybody off just am hoping that this thing will find a good home and be appreciated.
The Good:
The reliability of this car has been amazing. Always starts and has never required anything !! (other than tires and brakes)
The engine runs strong and fast ( there is an initial valve tap when cold but if you know these cars you know its normal)and of course regular oil changes have been done.
Transmission shifts like an Acura however clutch started slipping slightly.
Frame is strong. Never any accidents. Only some minor surface rust on frame
Everything electrical works ( power windows ,seats etc.)... ....except power antenna.
Pretty new tires all around
Original alloy wheels ( center caps are missing)
The Bad:
Check engine light comes on after about 5 minutes of driving. Has been like that for a few years and i never worried about it
Like I said ..clutch needs replacing soon
Exhaust has two major leaks and will need replacing
Two front springs are cracked (have been fore a while) it is drivable like that but it does effect high speed cornering a bit.
Needs a lot of body work. Hood needs replacing ( popped up at speed) and there is rust around gas filler area, some on wheel well and the worst is in the rear mainly where the acura letters attach to trunk and the trim piece that runs along bottom of trunk (see pics) and of course the side scrape dent ( see pics).
Sunroof is cracked ( when hood popped up it hit it ). The seal around sunroof is bad ( again from when hood popped open ) and there is tape to keep it from leaking.
The driver seat is torn ( common with theses cars). The rest of interior is ok..i think the back seat is in very good condition.
There is a small leak in power steering system. Been like that for many years. Just top it off once in a while.
It currently has an aftermarket CD player. I think only the radio works ( will check with my wife but I think she had bitched about that at one time)
AC stopped working last summer.
I think it will need new brakes soon ( not sure when they were last done )
That is all I can think of right now. Please contact me with any questions. I will update this listing if I can think of anything else so check back for changes.

2014 Acura RLX Sport Hybrid [w/video]
Wed, 18 Dec 2013Having already driven and reviewed the 2014 Acura RLX this year, colleagues Steven Ewing and Jeffrey Ross poured several thousand words into apprising it, then someone took the safety off the Comments and flipped them to "Fully Automatic" because those two reviews and four brief posts were hit by more than 1,200 of your deeply felt sentiments.
People care about Acura.
Roughly half of those comments were in reply to news of this car, the 2014 RLX Sport Hybrid SH-AWD, a sedan that intends to show that Acura cares, too. Underneath a skin almost imperceptibly different from the standard RLX, the one that has given us P-AWS (Precision All-Wheel Steer), is a Super Handling All-Wheel Drive (SH-AWD) system that replaces the mechanical components it relies on in the TL and MDX with computerized sophistication and three electric motors. Top that off with more power, and the aim is to provide a machine that does a better job of getting Acura a starting spot in the premium luxury game than the erstwhile and now all-but-forgotten RL that the RLX replaces.
Alonso wants an NSX, but did Honda block him from Le Mans?
Tue, Jan 20 2015One of the biggest changes in store for the 2015 Formula One World Championship will see Fernando Alonso moving back to McLaren. That means he'll be driving under Honda power for the first time, after spending the bulk of his career driving for Renault and Ferrari. And being Honda's new poster child, as the two-time World Champion is fast discovering, has its advantages and its drawbacks. According to the latest reports, Alonso had been negotiating a clause in his contract with McLaren that could have seen him driving a Porsche 919 Hybrid at Le Mans this year, but Honda reportedly stepped in at the last minute and scuttled the plan. The drive would have been Alonso's first in the famous 24-hour race, after having had the honor of waving the flag at La Sarthe last summer. In one of the wilder rumors that emerged during the prolonged silence over his move for this season, the Spaniard was also linked to a potential return for Ferrari to Le Mans. That prospect came to naught, and now the Porsche deal has been wheeled into the garage, as well. The upcoming F1 season is expected to be one of transition, adjustment and development for McLaren and Honda, but the Japanese automaker's involvement in his hiring may not be all bad news for Alonso. Following the reveal of the new Acura NSX, Alonso tweeted "You still don't know, but one day we will be together..." followed by a series of heart-eyed smiley-face emoticons and accompanies by images of Honda's new supercar. The implication is that the two-time World Champion is expecting to get his talented hands on an NSX of his own, and we can certainly see how Honda would appreciate the imagery of Fernando driving around in its flagship. Even if it doesn't, though, we're sure McLaren would be glad to hook him up with a company car of its own – though Lewis Hamilton encountered some trouble securing (a very specific) one for himself. Even discounting the front-running F1 machinery he's been tasked with piloting on track to an impressive 32 career wins, Alonso has had some lustworthy company cars at his disposal over the years. At Renault, he had a Megane RS to drive, and during his last stint at McLaren, he had an SLR 722. But since signing with Ferrari, he's been given the keys to FCA models as varied as a Ferrari FF, a special 599 GTO, a Maserati GranCabrio, a Jeep Grand Cherokee SRT and an Abarth 695... and those are just the ones we know about.
