1988 Acura Legend Coupe Base review from North America
"If cars were dogs this one is a Golden Retriever"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
So far I've replaced the alternator (2x), the radiator fan, the blower for the fan and A/C, fan speed control (2x) and other wear and tear items like, clutch (wore out at 165k), timing belts (2x so far) and a couple of CV joints.
Also I had the slave cylinder for the clutch replaced once. And an assortment of sensors for emission control. The valve gaskets were also replaced once as was the oil pan and oil pan gasket.
General comments?
This is a GREAT CAR! I will drive this thing till the engine falls off and the way this car has held up it won't be for another couple of hundred thousand miles. Sure it has had its share of repairs, but this car has not left me stranded once (knock on wood).
I have recouped the money I paid for this ($7500 in 1993) many times over.
