1991 Acura Legend L Coupe on 2040-cars
Cincinnati, Ohio, United States
“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

2018 Acura TLX will get the Precision concept's grille
Tue, Mar 28 2017The mid-cycle refresh for the Acura TLX is upon us, and the first teaser shows a car with the new corporate face. The dimly lit image shows the car's pentagonal grille we first saw on the Precision concept at last year's Detroit auto show, and is currently found on the MDX crossover. The full reveal will come on April 11 at the New York auto show. The new fascia should be a significant improvement over the boring, generic one found on the current TLX. A closer look under brighter light also reveals that some of the character lines and creases aren't as sharp and crisp as those on the Precision concept. And while this new TLX should be more distinct that the current model, the headlights are certainly reminiscent of the scowling units on the new Opel Insignia. Acura says this refresh comes with significant updates but doesn't elaborate on what they are. Updates could include a standard 9-speed for both V6 and inline-4 engines, increased power, and a refreshed interior. We'll have all the details when the car launches in the coming weeks.

Clarion Builds' 1991 Acura NSX going up for auction at Barrett-Jackson
Fri, Oct 6 2017Having driven it, I can say with full confidence that Clarion Builds' tuned and restored 1991 Acura NSX is a very, very special car. If you're in the market for just such a vehicle, good news: on October 20, that very same NSX will be going up for auction at Barrett-Jackson in Las Vegas. As much as the people behind the car hate to see it leave their hands, this just makes room for another awesome project to take its place. Really, this was the final fate for the NSX all along. All proceeds from the sale will benefit the American Red Cross. At the end of its life, Clarion Builds' 1974 BMW 2002 was auctioned off, too. Rather than simply holding on to the car or selling it for profit, the company partnered with Barrett-Jackson auctions. The auction house doesn't charge a fee for charity vehicles, meaning all of the money will go toward the Red Cross. The 2002 sold in 2016 for $125,000. Clarion Builds' expects the NSX to fetch even more money. This NSX has more than 230,000 miles on the chassis. It packs a 3.2-liter supercharged V6 and a six-speed manual transmission. Everything, from the bodywork to the suspension, has been modified. The car will be showcased in Las Vegas before and after the auction alongside Clarion Builds' latest project, a 1993 BMW 850Ci. More on that car to come sometime soon. Related Video: Image Credit: Larry Chen Acura Honda Auctions Coupe Performance
10 automakers sued over keyless ignitions
Thu, Aug 27 2015Keyless ignition has rapidly proliferated throughout the auto industry to become a fairly normal feature on new cars. It's supposed to offer the convenience of keeping the fob in your pocket and just pressing a button to drive away. However, ten major automakers are now being sued in US District Court over claims that the system is dangerous, Reuters reports. The suit alleges that people are forgetting to shut off the engine, and the lack of an idle timer is the cause for 13 deaths by carbon monoxide poisoning and multiple injuries. The suit currently includes 28 plaintiffs, according to Reuters, but the lawyers are asking for class-action status to potentially add many more. The case goes after a major swath of the industry, including BMW, Daimler, FCA, Ford, General Motors, Honda, Hyundai, Nissan, Toyota, and Volkswagen, plus their related brands like Acura, Infiniti, Mini, and Lexus. In all, over five million vehicles are affected. The assertion here is that people walk away from their vehicle without shutting it off because they believe the engine shuts off automatically. If parked in a garage, carbon monoxide can build up, leading to poisoning. The lawyers claim automakers know this is a problem and also cite 27 complaints to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration about the issue, according to Reuters. The plaintiffs are asking for an automatic shut-off and damages from the companies. These concerns have come up before, though. Toyota previously faced a lawsuit over a carbon monoxide death after a woman accidentally left her Lexus running. Also earlier this year, GM recalled 64,186 examples of the 2011-2013 Chevrolet Volt because owners weren't shutting them off. The problem resulted in two injuries, and the company released a software update to limit the idling time.
