This is a rare opportunity to own a like-new example of Acura’s top of the line luxury sport sedan in Garnet Red
Pearl which is 100% original. I am the second owner and like the first owner, I have meticulously maintained this
car to keep it showroom quality. It still smells like new. The interior has been kept protected by all things
ranging from a dash mat, rubber floor mats, and $325 custom made front seat covers by Wet Okole. I drive it so
infrequently, the car is practically sterile. (weekends only).
I should note that any paint flaw you think you see in the picture is more than likely a reflection from the
polish. I could rant and rave about how this car looks like it just emerged from a time capsule but only seeing it
in person does it any justice.
For those of you who have never had the pleasure of driving a Legend before, the engineers at Acura knew exactly
what they were doing when they crafted the powerful 3.2L V6 engine. The Legend is wonderful to drive! Under
acceleration the characteristic growl of the Acura V-6 is amazing. At cruise the car is smooth and quiet.
In terms of its mechanical reliability, this car gets an A+. Although the usual timing belt/water pump change
interval is usually 80k miles. I have already gone ahead and had those components replaced as a preventative
measure. Because as you may know, rubber can still crack over time regardless of use. Oil and filter are new and I
make sure to keep it that way. It also has like new Michelin MXV4 tires which make the car ride extremely smooth
and quiet. Air conditioning blows ice cold, like it should. If you're a connoisseur of the Acura Legend, your
search may be over.
While I'm not in any particular hurry to part with this machine, I've come to the conclusion that I have too many
vehicles already and this beauty doesn't do me any good being the "eye candy" that I drive on weekends, so while
I'm reluctantly posting it for sale, I am ready to find it a new home.
I know it's a tired old saying, but whoever ends up buying this car is getting one hell of an automobile.
Now you have the chance to own an incredible piece of classic Japanese luxury.
NOTE: Vehicle is also subject to local sale.

Hurricane Sandy cost automakers 15,000 vehicles, may have ruined up to 200k
Wed, 07 Nov 2012Hurricane Sandy was the largest Atlantic storm in US history, and its total economic impact is just now coming into view. According to Automotive News, Toyota, Chrysler, Nissan and Honda are set to scrap around 15,000 new vehicles ruined by the storm. Nissan alone accounts for about 40 percent of those, with 6,000 Nissan and Infiniti models deeded "un-saleable" due to damage. The company saw 56 dealerships shuttered due to the storm, but 51 of those have since reopened.
Toyota, meanwhile, had some 4,000 vehicles at its Newark port facility, and of those, 3,000 may be scrapped. An additional 825 were dealer inventory when they were ruined. Honda and Acura dealers are reportedly sending 3,440 vehicles to the salvage yard. By comparison, Chrysler weathered the storm fairly well with 825 units destroyed, while Hyundai suffered only 400 lost units and Kia scrapped around 200.
As you may recall, Fisker also suffered some losses, and Automotive News reports the manufacturer saw 320 Karma models damaged beyond repair. Ford and General Motors have yet to come up with estimates, and no automaker has commented on the full cost of replacing the vehicles.

Acura TLX caught naked in production guise, can you spot the differences?
Mon, 10 Mar 2014Acura doesn't tend to do concept cars these days that don't foreshadow a specific upcoming production model. The ZDX prototype of 2010 previewed the production version, as did the ILX and RLX showcars of 2012 and the MDX of 2013. The NSX concept is on its way to production, as the SUV-X concept is likely to do as well in the coming years. So when Acura revealed the TLX prototype at the Detroit Auto Show a few months ago, we all but knew it would only be a matter of time before that, too, would be produced. And here it is.
Spied all but completely undisguised while undergoing testing, this pair of TLX prototypes (one in white, one in black) looks almost identical to the show car. You might spot a few minor tweaks here and there - the strip of LEDs in the lower front bumper have been replaced by round fog lamps and some of the chrome accents are missing - but by and large, we're looking at the same vehicle we saw in Detroit earlier this year.
The finished production version of the TLX is expected to debut at the New York Auto Show next month, after which it will replace both the TSX and the TL, slotting in between the smaller ILX and the larger RLX in Acura's sedan lineup.
