1988 Acura Legend L review from North America

I bought the car from an old man at my Grandparent's church. The car had been sitting in his barn for 3 years at least when we bought it, so there were the expected maintenance repairs. But in addition to those:

Passenger side front window, and driver side back window motors are out.

Check engine light comes on after running for about 10-15 minutes, however that seems to be when the car starts running better.

Leather on back seat is cracked, front seats are badly worn.

Have had to replace many various hoses & pipes as a result of leaks.

Busted radiator a week after I bought the car.

When you cut the switch off and take out the key, engine will remain running until the headlights are cut off. (This doesn't happen every time, but most)

Hood release cable broke, a real pain to repair.

Battery runs dead over night sometimes as a result of shorts in the wiring.

The car "surges" sometimes while driving, and almost always when Idling.

The car cannot be aligned fully as a result of the wear on some part (not sure what it is called)

Caliper is stuck on the right, back brake.

Glove box is broken, and falls out sometimes on take-off.

Hood Hydraulics out.

Beautiful car. Runs great, although it does take some time to get going. And even though we have had many problems out of this car, I believe they could have been avoided if it had been taken care of better previously to us owning it.

Gets GREAT gas mileage, and repairs are not too costly.
