Hiyas,
What are your opinions on Acura Legend? I have been looking at 94 Legend and they seem pretty decent. Any things I should be looking out for?

Pretty old car, might be hard or expensive to find parts for it ...

I'm not sure if they didn't sell many of them or whatnot, but I really don't see many on the road at all.
Though 80s and 90s Civics, Accords, and Corollas I see tons of.

rarely, extreme hard to find a good condition (e.g. non abused or modified)
and extremely expensive to repair due to parts availability.
If you find a good condition one, I'd grab it, but if it needs "some" work I'd walk away from it ...

well, its suppose to be rust-free, accident free with 155K on it. But if the parts are very expensive? Then its not worth it then.

don't listen to sshe11
the parts are not hard to find nor are they expensive. of course you need to know where to look that is all.. like a certain junkyard east of town ;)

It was the top of the line Honda after the NSX so I don't forsee major problems other than ones due to age.

Legends are a Sweet Ride...I had the luxury of being spoiled and being given a 93' AC Legend as my 2nd car....Had to let her go tho'....I miss her already. This ride is loaded w/ features, many features that are still standard in may AC's and luxury cars today.

don't spend too much on it, is all I can say. It was a top of the line car back in it's prime but now it should sell for only a little bit more than an Accord of similar year and mileage. My guess would be in the area of $4-4.5k
the car is after all a thirteen year old car and is bound to have thirteen year old car problems.
as for the no rust, always highly suspicious. Be sure to take a thorough look at the rear wheels and bottom of the doors. If you don't have a good eye for spotting bodywork, get someone who does to have a look at it.

You're not wrong. Parts are expensive. My uncle had a legend and parts were expensive on the majority. If you have hookups then that's an exception.
The legend coupes are beautiful, the 4drs are kinda ugly. One year they had a 6spd. manual I think with over 200+hp. Its so hard to find in good shape that its almost a collector's car. Probably not a good daily driver unless ur willing the pay for the high maintainance cost.
my 2 cents.

Father in law has a 92 coupe, black, in mint condition.
He still drives it on Hiway 406 in St Catharaines at 160-180 km/h, like he did when he got it brand new. He just traded his 04 Camry for a Lexus ES350, he refused to deal in the Acura.
He paid $45K in 92 for this car, its an outstanding ride.
Oh yea, he's 80.

Nice car but hard to find one in mint condition.
The super rare one to get is the 6 speed manual Legend. I know of at least 2 around TO.

Nice car but it has a reputation for being a "_iggamobile".

Thanks for the advice. I have relayed it all to the friend who was really interested in it. Appreciated.
I had looked it up for him and it did seem nice but gasket was leaking.

Amazing car. Very reliable (in general). Engine / maintenance suppose to be cheap. Body parts can get expensive. Amazing on gas - plus - v.powerful / luxurious.
I personally love the shape (traditional honda conservative shape though).
