Used Car of the Day: 1992 Acura Legend

by Tim Healey

Published: September 3rd, 2024

Today we bring you a project car with this 1992 Acura Legend.

It's not that much of a project -- it needs paint and it has some rust, but it also seems to run well, though it will need a muffler and A/C recharge.

Other cosmetic issues include worn seats and an ABS light that is stuck on. The seller says the brakes work fine, though.

The mileage is high at over 183K, but the price is low at $1,300.

This could either be a cheap daily for someone who needs inexpensive wheels, or someone can pour some money into fixing the paint, muffler, A/C, ABS light, and driver's seat.

If that someone is you, click here.

Tim Healey

Tim Healey grew up around the auto-parts business and has always had a love for cars — his parents joke his first word was “‘Vette”. Despite this, he wanted to pursue a career in sports writing but he ended up falling semi-accidentally into the automotive-journalism industry, first at Consumer Guide Automotive and later at Web2Carz.com. He also worked as an industry analyst at Mintel Group and freelanced for About.com, CarFax, Vehix.com, High Gear Media, Torque News, FutureCar.com, Cars.com, among others, and of course Vertical Scope sites such as AutoGuide.com, Off-Road.com, and HybridCars.com. He’s an urbanite and as such, doesn’t need a daily driver, but if he had one, it would be compact, sporty, and have a manual transmission.

It never "just needs a recharge" when they're that old. All the seals are toast, even if the compressor still works. Ask me how I know. I have a '95 Sable with only 81,000 miles that is otherwise extremely solid, but it would take $2K to restore the air conditioning system.

  I've seen them work sometimes...for about 2 days until it all leaks out again.

Shame the state its in, I wonder if this is more of a running parts car than a regular buy.

Mnemic Muscle cars are the only CARS still selling. Look up top 10 coupe sales from 5-6 years ago. Damn corvettes were outselling 2 door honda civics. Mustang, Challenger and Camaro were top 3 and by a huge margin, nothing else came close. With Charger being so huge there is room for Dodge to make a smaller coupe
D i wonder if the geniuses who thought building an aluminum body truck still think it’s a great idea.
D Meanwhile I am so glad my wife chose our loaded 2008 Solara Convertible, an excellent vehicle in every way, over the 2008 VW Eos. Parts are available from Toyota and third party suppliers. The top even too. It just keeps running and running well.
Bd2.0 The last thing I could see myself doing is listening to a podcast from some smelly naked old men talking about cars.
