1988 Acura Legend review from North America
"Hold on to Yours"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Transmission went at 130000. Replaced radiator. Rust is a major problem on these cars as they were not heavily rust treated by the manufacturer prior to 1991. Rust is a common Honda problem from the 1980's. I put it in the body shop and had the rusting panels redone with new sheet metal then I treated it with undercoat. I highly recommend that you consider this if you are planning on keeping your Legend for a long while.
General comments?
Wonderful handling.
Responds well to care.
Fine horsepower for its weight.
Future collectible Car(coupe)!! When these cars become more rare on the street in future years, the price will go up. So treat yours right if you have one. the Japanese collectible car market will be huge one day!!
