1988 Acura Legend L review from North America
"A high performance bargain - a real deal"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
A slight oil leak was easy to fix by replacing worn cylinder cover gasket.
Also I had to change the clutch plate in 1998
Body is very prone to rust and the front seats are worn out badly. But this should be expected to most 15 years old cars.
General comments?
My initial purpose was to simply got myself some wheels to take me to and from school. For $2000 I figured 3 years with the car will be fair. Well, 6 years down the line, I am still driving it and loving every bit of it.
