Do You Know What Anachronism Means?
Hmm...what's a shiny 1994 Acura Legend Coupe doing in a dealership right next to a 2007 MDX? Never been sold? Couldn't be...these were pretty nice.
Ready for a surprise?
Blows me away at how well this car's been taken care of...and it's a testament to Acura's reliability record.

wow! That's awesome....
I've always liked how these looked. I never knew they came as a stick-shift though.
some go for about 10k+ in good condition.
when looking for my prelude, I was also looking at these.. the manual ones are very rare..Originally Posted by VooDooXII
yea.. the maintainance required light is on hehe
but yea, from what i hear, their handling capability is up to par with modern cars. type II ftw!
That's the flash of the camera.
The light is always on. It just changes from GREEN, meaning you're good to go, to orange, and to red. You know what the other colors mean.
BUY MY HATCH <--click the link, cuz.
to have that many miles, the leather seats don't even show any real wear. thats crazy..
how long do you think that dealership detailed that engine bay and interior and wheels? Anyone thinking they might have cheated a little with some shiny new pieces from the parts department?
woah legends are RWD?(engine layout)
^^ Yeah, I drew a frame of a man running on each fan blade. That is him running at idle
thats a big possibility.........
yeah. that is true. they didnt include all that.haha. but it's 6 speed too!
thats crazy
i hart haters.
Legends are actually FWD...they just have a longitudinally mounted engine. The Volkswagen Passat and many Audis have the same layout.
if you click the link to the story, some guy owns it, and he did all the detailing, they're just using it for a campaign, though he did say he got most of the car repainted (some body, wheel wells, brakes etc...), its still damn clean
he also said he purchased it in 2003 with 95,000 miles, thats 200,000 miles in 5 years!guess he just made a couple of super long trips
Yea, read on...he travels a lot.if you click the link to the story, some guy owns it, and he did all the detailing, they're just using it for a campaign, though he did say he got most of the car repainted (some body, wheel wells, brakes etc...), its still damn clean

looks to be in great condition. conyers honda has a red 4 door 92 civic with over 400k miles on it that they use to take customers for test drives in lol
its a good sales pitch!
wow that shit is super minty. a good interior is priceless in my book. that's the one thing that is hard to make look new again once it's gone to shit. you can do paint and body and wheels and suspension, but oem interior is friggin ridiculous.
i have a legend and its no where near that clean hahaha
its FWD lol
wow yeah he does... he also mentions the seats are redone, but still, that junk is clean as hell
Erm, Gen II Legends were not super reliable... The Type-II six speed was better but the Type-I cars have pretty widespread headgasket issues.
That said I absolutely love the six speed coupes.
Your right but i honestly think that good maintenance greatly helped the head gasket issue. I had a 92 sedan slammed on some motegi's lol but at 225,000 mi. it also had intake, exhaust, and a 75 shot of nitrous and it never gave me a single problem. I loved that car....RIP (16 year old girls with new cars are the worst drivers ever....)
Waits for Thegodfather lol
DAMN clean. Who cares detailed or not.
Best way to prove your reliability right there.
Pretty neat man...nice find.
I dotn care what anyone says, those legends are POS...
You seem them chuggin along burning oil all the time.
Are you sure it's the Legend, or the Vigor?
Legend, the very same model. For a whole year I'd end up behind this gold legend on my way to school that'd smoke like a mofo. I'd end up behind it at 7:30 AM. Its early and the first thing I sell is that POS's exhaust. UGH!

that means all legends are that way?
because i could say the same to a bunch of cars.. there was this civic, this mustang, camaro, town car, and a saturn.. oh yeah and an old 70s bug... they all smoked badly.
i just hit 240k..
serviced by me.
Totally awesome!!!!!!!!! My dad has an old ass Ford Aerostar (can't remeber the year) with 367k miles on it and still kickin'. It looks and drives brand new. He took good care of it obviously. He said changing the oil on a regular basis is what he thinks made it last so long.
I used to want a Legend Coupe so bad. I finally found one and test drove it and the gas pedal and brake were so close together I was hitting them at the same time lol.
This has definately stood the test of time, its nice to see a car so well maintined
edit: I bet the owner is one anal SOB
very nice find.... nice upkeep
Man he aint got nothing on me. XD
Disregard that flash/
damn.. thought mine was high.
I daily mine and run it in the mountains, etc....i dont baby it....but i dont abuse it....too hard.
It's a Honda...it can take it.
legends/vigors that motor period does have major issues, as far as being reliable...so ive heard, and seen! but if it wasnt for that the legend would be king! like i said in the other thread.. should have been a dohc 3.2 in it!
I've met the owner of that Legend, his name's Tyson, really cool guy. The leather interior's been redone with Katskinz leather, btw.
I also had a '92 Legend LS sedan and sold it at ~190k miles, had zero issues. Like just about any car, maintenance is the key. Mine ran perfectly and never had the headgasket issues you hear about with Legends.
