“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!

Snapshots from Acura NSX prototype run at Mid-Ohio

Mon, 05 Aug 2013

Acura's achingly slow showing of the new, hybrid NSX saw yet another step yesterday, as we reported late last week. A powder-blue prototype ran ahead of the open-wheelers at the Honda Indy 200 at the Mid-Ohio Sports Car Course. Why show the NSX Prototype at Mid-Ohio? Honda's Ohio research and development center, which has taken the lead on NSX development, is just 60 miles from the track. And as race sponsor, Honda must have figured it would give the spectators a glimpse of the new supercar it's been teasing for the better part of a decade.
With a planned launch in 2015 (special emphasis on the "planned" part, considering the NSX's history), the NSX Prototype shown here sports graphics that "speak to Acura's intention to go racing with the new NSX." That's great news for fans of endurance racing, although it remains to be seen when a motorsports program for the new NSX will get off the ground.
Take a look at the fresh gallery of images, and be sure to head over to our original Mid-Ohio post for the video footage of the NSX Prototype on track.

Acura NSX owners receive custom short teaser movies of their personal car

Mon, Dec 19 2016

In a neat bit of fan service for those who've ordered Acura's new NSX halo car, the company will make a short film that reflects the way the car's been configured. Those films are on their way to future owners as you read this. In addition, they'll get a 1:18 scale custom model of their own car, reflecting every appearance option inside and out. That's neat. So neat, in fact, that we decided to commission our own video. We got together and configured a car in the lovely Nouvelle Blue Pearl, and sent our build over to Acura. They put together a video that's mostly representative of what an owner would see. You can see our build plate (hint: it says "Autoblog – Precision Crafted By Performance Manufacturing Center" on it), and that's "our" car on the dyno starting about 22 seconds in. If you want to check out someone else's film, you can compare our build to Jay Leno's. The reason Acura can do this is that there simply aren't that many available configurations for the NSX. This is at the root of one of the main criticisms some of our editors have about the car. An NSX starts at darn close to $160,000, and there are eight paint options (not too bad), four interior color options, and three seating options. All well and good, but compare that to the 16 paint and 12 interior color/material choices in a 911 Turbo, for example, choosing a similarly high-performance car at a similar price range. And there's a further wrinkle: Porsche will paint your car to match a sample you provide, so in reality the ability for an owner to make the car uniquely theirs is infinite, if you don't mind paying for it. See also the BMW Individual program, or McLaren's MSO one-offs. We're not just talking about the MSO Defined options, but the MSO Bespoke program itself, which will basically do anything you want to the car as long as it's road legal and your check doesn't bounce. We've been to MSO, and they're not kidding: they'll build anything. So yes, these custom videos are nice fan service, and they'll certainly jazz up the buyers who've already ordered one of these dynamically impressive cars. It's a move that builds loyalty, and certainly doesn't have much of a drawback. But for us, already a bit sensitive to Acura's conservative option list for the NSX, it serves to highlight the gap between Acura and the more established brands in catering to well-off customers' desire for bespoke range-topping creations.
