1988 Acura Legend review from North America
"A good car for how many miles it has..."
What things have gone wrong with the car?
I found out that the odometer had been rolled back a few times after I had bought it. So when I thought that the car had 142,000, it really had 200 something thousand miles on it. For how many miles are on it, it's been a pretty good car.
In total I've spent 3,000 dollars on repairs. Right now it's running great, doesn't run like it has as many miles as it does. But it's disappointing because if I knew how many miles it really had on it, I wouldn't have bought it. But like I said it now runs great.
General comments?
I had to replace, basically the whole front end (ball joints etc).
Had to replace all 8 fuel injectors, 6 were leaking fuel.
Had to fix a bad oil leak, and get a new battery.
